Well, one's choice of e-mail program is almost as fun a topic as  
one's choice of word processor.

What made you finally give up on Eudora?  Qualcomm's abandonment of  
Eudora?

Do you know that there are two successors to Eudora  in development?

Penelope (a project that seeks to meld Thunderbird with Eudora)

Odysseus (a project that seeks to create a more true successor to  
Eudora)

I personally love Apple's Mail, especially as of OS X 10.4 when it  
became a lot more like Claris Emailer.
Did you know that there are many add-on's for Mail?  See:

However, you aren't limited to Mail if you are moving away from  
Eudora.  In fact, there are about 30 different e-mail programs for OS  
X.  Let me know if you want a list of them.
