I would disagree and change that to a qualified "if you want long term 
usability with a POP account".  Eudora can be a PITA to get to play 
with IMAP accounts... or so my experience has been.  Eudora does not 
handle well (or at all) the SSL authentication that we require for our 
IMAP account logins.  Nor is its mailbox "scheme" intuitive for IMAP 
accounts.  It puts some mailboxes under Dominant (which you can't 
rename to the user's name), but puts sent mail in the Out box that 
appears by default, and ignores the Trash mailbox that is pre-generated 
on the mail server because Eudora already has a mailbox by that name.  
You can't delete or rename the default Eudora mailboxes, so users end 
up looking in the wrong place for their mail.  It's way too confusing 
for the average user.

We're abandoning Eudora and moving to Mail (Mac OS X clients) and 
Thunderbird (Windows clients).  Much less clunky, plays well with our 
servers, and much less expensive.

But, as I said, this is my experience.  I used to use Eudora, back 
before I became a network administrator and had to deal with its little 
idiosyncrasies.  ^_^  Now I prefer Mail or Thunderbird... and mutt.
