I'd say it's decent, but has some quirks and problems, like any software. Apple does update it from time to time. I wouldn't call it awful. It does work well most of the time, and has some nice features I expect from a mail client. >> Mail.app handles my 750,000 emails very well, actually.

That's not my experience at all. I have 140,000+ emails in my Mail database, and seven accounts with different providers including my own email server, iCloud, GMail, and Hotmail. Checking for new mail takes 3 to 6 seconds, iCloud usually taking the longest. I have 19 rules, and all of them work just fine. >> I still have one mbox file that Eudora totally fucked up.

Not the point. The point is that Eudora had its own share of problems; and he's right about that. >> And Eudora always was piss-poor at IMAP.

Considering Eudora was in development until 2006, and IMAP was around back in 1986, that's really not much of an excuse. I wonder if Thunderbird handles IMAP any better, or just the same. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
