Eudora

Eudora is a widely used email client for the operating systems Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. It also supports several palmtop computing platforms, including Newton and the Palm OS. It was named after Eudora Welty, who was flattered by the reference.

It pioneered the concept of a folder list pane that was always present.

Originally distributed in both a Light (freeware) and Pro (commercial) product, it is now distributed with three modes: adware, payware (removes ads), and the classic "Light" mode. Some people feel that it has become bloated, however, these complaints seem to have subsided. It is fairly stable on the Mac platform, the platform that Eudora originated on. The Mac platform has always strove for Macintosh alternatives, and continues to support Eudora. Eudora is also popular on college campuses.
