Hi, everybody,

I have been using Eudora (sponsored mode) - free of charge and legally - for over 10 years, because I do not like Outlook or Outlook Express.

Good thing about Eudora is that all e-mail attachments can be held separately away from the message (that is how I set it up), and if I update the attachments, I can always for sure get the original attachment updated without a hassle (because they work on the SAME attachment - and not a copy of it which, in the case of Outlook or Outlook Express, is stored in some unidentifiable way with the e-mail). Also, because of Eudora's smaller user-base, less attention on the part of hackers is paid to sabortage it or to build malware around it (and its address book), unlike what we have seen with Outlook/Outlook Express.

The latest version of Eudora (7.1.09) I use and since upgrading to it, I have found, is a MEMORY HOG. Even 1 Gig of memory is till not enough when I start Eudora when I have other apps (such as Excel and Word together) running at the same time. My computer turns frigid for a while !!!!

Any one can suggest a good user-friendly e-mail software for Windows XP ?

Thanks to you all for your past help !
