These folks must be kidding. And if they aren't it is doubly frustrating.
 
We installed Eudora 5.1 and the installation produced no errors. First indication of trouble is their interface and navigation through the product. This is better than MS Outlook? I don't think so.
 
Translated address book - we have only one. In Eudora, address book listed translated entries by last name only and there is no way to have them appear as they do in Outlook.
 
As a long-time system integrator I know the sometimes negative feelings re: Microsoft. But this product does nothing but buttress the argument that MS offers the most desireable of alternatives.
 
In my opinion (proper legal disclaimer) this product is junk and does not serve the intended purpose - regardless of what their license and disclaimers may include.
 
My advice is to avoid Eudora at all costs. If your concerns are essentially viruses, worms and problems written specifically to attack Outlook, install inexpensive firewall software and get on with life.
