Regarding the beta version of Eudora 8, I copied this from the README:
Eudora is a mail and news application from Qualcomm based on the open source
Thunderbird client from Mozilla.

Eudora 8 as advertised on www.eudora.com is not a new version of the famous
Eudora email client, of which Eudora 7.1.0.9 is the latest (and I fear the
last) version.  I have used Eudora for over 10 years on Windows, and I switched
over to Linux Ubuntu.  I was happy that my Windows-Eudora worked under Wine, so
now I didn't have to switch to any of those many Outlook-clones.  The new
Eudora 8 beta version is just one of those clones: it is an add-on to
Thunderbird, and Thunderbird has nothing to do with the "old" Eudora.  It has
no movable not sizable windows for emails and mailboxes, it is all the same as
Outlook: a "directory-tree" for the mailboxes, a list of email messages in a
mailbox, and the rest of the main window is reserved for the contents of one
email message.

These three parts of the main window can indeed be resized.  But it is not
possible to open two email messages at the same time, resize their window,
place them next to eachother and compare the contents.  Just like Outlook and
its many clones, you have to switch from one to the other.

Please compare this to your Linux desktop, or a Mac or Windows desktop.  It is
possible to have each of your active aplications in their own window, resize it
to the size you want, place it anywhere on your screen.  If this new Eudora
would be the model for the way your desktop would look like, you would always
have a list of possible applications in one part of your screen, a list of
documents on which that application can work in another part of your screen,
and an opened document in the remainder of your screen.  That sounds like old
versions of Windows, you say?  Well, Eudora 8 sounds like old email clients. 
Eudora 7.1.0.9 is much more advanced than Eudora 8.

So thanks, but no thanks.
