I've used Eudora for thirteen years straight. I've got 32,000 emails in about a hundred folders, and it takes 2 1/2 seconds to search all of them (OS X 10.4, dual 1GHz G4). Filters are very useful, and the UI works well for me. I've considered Thunderbird, but each time I try it I find a personal showstopper and retreat back to Eudora. Everyone I support (wife, parents) I've got using Eudora. It's a nice, clean, focused product.
But! it's annoying having all my attachments dumped into a single folder, filters aren't all that flexible, and it's been years since a significant upgrade. I hope that making it open-source can give the product some new life. Worse comes to worse, it should keep Eudora from croaking before Thunderbird gets to the point where I can switch.
