I've used Eudora for years. No virus attacks, no hijacked address books, just gathers and sends mail.
Me too. For family email, the really old Free Eudora 3.0.6.
This is simple text, so no worry about fancy emails that call home or redirect your Ebay password to Romania. And easy to set up spam filters. If there's mischef coded in the email it just prints as raw text. I like it better that way. Its far faster than any email that looks like a web page.
For maintaining the dozen email accounts related to my family website, TheBat. This gracefully collects mail from all over and again, presents it as raw text to avoid mischef. I recommend it for this use, but the presentation is not elegant.
My kids use the web email software that comes with my web hosting account but I can't stand it. I read my mail that way only when travelling.
I've tried mail accounts from Netscape, Yahoo, and a couple of othes and couldn't stand them.
Some day I'll investigate Thunderbird.
