Qualcomm on Wednesday joined up with the Mozilla Foundation to announce it is transitioning Eudora into an open source e-mail client that will be based upon Thunderbird. In turn, all future versions of Eudora will be free and Qualcomm will discontinue the current paid client. Although it may seem like Eudora is simply abandoning its e-mail software, which has a small but strong following of loyal users, the company claims the Thunderbird-based client will retain "Eudora's uniquely rich feature set and productivity enhancements".

Eudora was actually my first e-mail client back in the win95 days. It was also my first webmail (@eudoramail.com or something like that, I was 12 or 13 lol)
It's had some good times and bad times, I stopped using it long ago though - just never seemed worth it and I rarely use e-mail clients at all anymore. Thunderbird I tend to use on occassion, and I'd like to use Kmail but without windows support I'm not sure I can...yet...
I sincerely hope Qualcomm and Mozilla team up and merge some of the features of their clients. Maybe this will benefit us all.
