It would appear that MailForge, a possible Eudora replacement under
development since late 2007, is now officially dead. This according to
a post from the lead developer.

The current owners are willing to pass the codebase on to another
outfit as a potential business or make it available as an open source
type of project.

I'm not entirely surprised. The project changed hands 18 months ago
after being given up on by the original author, who clearly had little
programming experience. I suspect it was a mess internally and needed
to be scrapped and restarted from scratch, rather than bodged around
with.

Meanwhile there is a working client with a number of Eudora features to
be found here, which may suit some people:
