Giles, You are probably right. What I was trying to get at with my email itch post yesterday was the constant need to focus and the time costs involved with making a change to an application as important as an email client. I am sticking with Eudora 6 betas for now, because they work well and the only things they lack are integration with the Address Book app and an appealing user interface. I still think that Eudora is the email app of choice for someone who needs email to be bombproof and simply work. It does that. It just isn't pretty...
