Verdict (4 out of 5)

Eudora 7.1 is a valid program, and the franchise seemed to have greatly improved with the 8.0 beta version that is currently going around. There is a free (Sponsored) and paid version of the program, but if you don’t like annoying ads, the paid one is the way to go. It is only $49 for the full version or $39 for the upgrade. Either way, you will be impressed with the power and reliability of the email client. Sorry Mac users , Eudora doesn’t currently offer support for the Mac after version 6.2.4.
