I'm using it now, but wish there had been some more new features added i.e. bounce to sender, as well better handling of HTML emails- those that I have received with multiple images embedded are never formatted properly. The same email appears great in Entourage.

One thing I'd like to know is if Eudora still insists on grabbing every last CPU cycle it can when it checks email. I'm getting a little tired of seeing my CPU pegged while Eudora waits at the PASS command.

I agree- that has certainly been very noticeable when I'm watching movies in the foreground. (Eudora 5.2, Mac OS 10.2.1, PB G3/500)

There is still also a noticeable delay (up to a minute or so) in new emails showing up in the relevant mailbox, particularly if that mailbox is already open.

Bounce to sender is basically useless. In 99.9% of cases where you use it on spam, all you will get for your effort is a delivery failure message.

I just really want integration with the OS X address book. Oh well. I registered for the beta last Sept. This beta came out a little more than 1 year later. I wrote tech support complaining that even though I paid, I only got support from May 2002-Sept 2002, and I couldn't upgrade to 5.2 (which finally had SSL reinstated). Anyway, they sent me a new code cool

Actually, I would also like to see some type of eudora-palm conduit for mail. from qualcomm or 3rd party, i don't care.
