Farewell to Eudora 4, after a decade

I like being a bit of a Luddite when it comes to things like email programs. I have used Eudora 4 since the 1990s, and my particular 4.3.2.7 version since 2000. And why not? It works and I don’t need the flashest. Also, I have been immune from the viruses that have plagued newer email programs. That always made me feel pretty smug. The old stuff was more reliable.

   But, it appears, its time is up. There are SMTP authentication issues with the old version 4s with our new server, and I am looking at getting something newer. I tried Thunderbird just now but it looks too much like Outlook, a program which I find unusable. It’s going to be Eudora again, probably an older one such as v. 6.2.5.
   Bye, bye, Eudora 4: you have served me well for a decade.

‘I think they’re wonderful. They have so much courage! Here they are, hurling through space on a molten rock at 67,000 miles an hour, and the only thing that keeps them in their shoes is their misplaced faith in gravity.’—John Lithgow as Prof Dick Solomon, in Third Rock from the Sun
