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".

Thunderbird is strong and stable client. While Mozilla should never stop the Eudora builds and support and enhancements... cause if it is open source you will always find some one to maintain it... the advantage? ... you have one more choice via open source as email client!
