Part of my problem is I've been on Eudora since '95, and using it on 
the Mac since '96.  I have nearly 4GB of message archives, I don't 
want to loose access to.   In addition to that I have a large list of 
filters.  I average a couple hundred emails a day.  The filters sort 
the messages out into different mailboxes, and something I find 
invaluable is that it pops up a new window for each mailbox that has 
messages hit it.  I have hit the 32k messages limit on various 
mailboxes more times than I care to remember.

There is no software application I've used as much as Eudora.

These are the two main contenders.  I need to create a temporary 
account and setup a test environment to see if one of these might 
work for me.  Based on my requirements above, do you think either are 
suited to me?

I'm positive that this won't cut it for me.  I know how bad it is on Windows.

I have basically all accounts except this one going through mail.app, 
and it can't handle the load.  I cratered it with just keeping an eye 
on a couple System accounts on servers.

I'd appreciate seeing it.

My other option is to think about running Eudora either via emulation 
or on an older Mac.  I'm the guy that can't let go of ClarisDraw, so 
that idea has a certain appeal.  Though I long to be able to have all 
these non-plaintext emails displayed correctly.

On a semi-related note, I've been playing around with Dreamweaver CS5 
the last couple days.  I'm warming up to it rather quickly, and am 
almost willing to stop mourning the loss of Adobe PageMill & 
SiteMill!  I never gave the version in CS3 much of a chance, and flat 
out couldn't stand the various versions of GoLive I had.

Thanks,
Zane
