I never really used Eudora (other than for testing our IMAP/POP service), but I switched from elm last year or so to Thunderbird. It's working well enough for now (though I still miss elm in some respects!), but it looks to also be a dead-end product. I happened to be looking at an old (~10 years) local patch to uw-imapd the other day, though, and was reminded that Eudora of that vintage incorrectly tried to do STARTTLS with SSLv3 (instead of the required TLSv1, IIRC due to their SSL libs at the time not yet having TLS support). If you're using STARTTLS and your mail provider supports IMAPS/POP3S as well, you could try switching to IMAPS/POP3S and see if that makes a difference. Not that I would encourage anybody to still use Eudora (we still have a few holdouts here, too)... But changing mail clients can be _really_ painful. =Dave -- Hello World.
