Did all of you go to Apple Mail? Did you look at any other mail clients?

I am in the same situation with Eudora, and have found Apple Mail to be 
so limited as to be unusable. I am particularly annoyed that each new 
version of OS X removes features from Mail, features that I would use.

So I am planning to migrate to Thunderbird, even though it is ugly. It 
does have the advantage that there are lots of useful plugins which can 
extend its functionality, eg, delete duplicate e-mails in a mailbox, 
something that Eudora could do.

I am also planning to migrate my accounts to IMAP since it is convenient 
to be able to access them from a phone or tablet. I think this can be 
done from within Eudora, since Eudora supports IMAP properly. The only 
disadvantage of this is that you cannot drag a mailbox over to an IMAP 
account. It looks like you have to create the mailbox, then drag the 
messages over. It is going to be tedious, but hopefully will work. I 
just have to find a couple of days when I can do it all.
