Amazing! I've been using Eudora for over a decade and it has never 
crashed. Ever. I've used it on probably 12 different computers. There 
was something wrong with your setup, that's for sure.  I must say, a 
25 GB mail folder for OE sounds pretty extreme. I didn't know hard 
drives were even that big in the days of OE!
