Yep, that's the main reason I've stuck with Eudora. Nothing gets opened that you don't want opened.

Outlook Express is garbage. Outlook is rox. Eudora is satan's mail client.

And we're using v6.2

That is all.

That's why I use Outlook/Exchange.

You make dirt look brand new.
LOL :beer: to you ... if you're legal :p

If I were old enough to drink, I sure as hell wouldn't put up with a position that requires me to support EUDORA

That's half the problem - we don't actually have roaming profiles implemented. But we do have activedirectory serving up the logins. Every time you load Eudora on these rigs, you have to mount your personal network share (by way of a piece of custom software that launches eudora for you). And before you get on the custom software - it's flawless. By the time any of the errors come about, it's already dropped out of memory and is completely inconsequential. It's only used to point eudora at it's data files.

Same here.

Thirded. Been using it since...yeah, 1995. Outlook Express sucks. Never had a problem with Eudora whatsoever. I'll stick with it.

Other things I hate supporting: Windows CD Burning Wizard. It's incompatible with CDRWs that were initialized with other programs. People don't like when I tell them that.

And people also hate it when I tell them that their floppy disk is corrupted.
