Maybe I shouldn't admit this, but I really don't use IMAP that much. That fact makes choosing an email app much easier. I am not so sure that I agree with Eudora being a worst sort of compromise. Especially in its latest beta version it is a solid email client, at least as good as it was under Mac OS 9.x, and even better when you consider the new features built into the program. If it fully integrated with the Apple Address Book application as PowerMail does then it would only be lacking in terms of the user interface
