What is Eudora?

Eudora is a POP mail and IMAP client produced by Qualcomm. It requires an Internet connection (e.g., via PPP or Ethernet) and a computer that runs either Mac OS or Windows.

There used to be two versions of Eudora: the full-featured Eudora Pro, which was a commercial client, and the less functional Eudora Light, which was freeware. However, with version 4.3, Qualcomm merged the two into a single client that can operate in three different modes: paid, light, and sponsored. The paid and light modes are analogous to the Eudora Pro and Eudora Light programs, respectively. Paid mode requires a registration fee, which disables advertising and enables all features. Light mode has no advertisements and offers basic e-mail client functionality. In sponsored mode, Eudora has the same features as paid mode and is free like light mode, but it always displays an advertisement in a small window that you can't close.

Qualcomm maintains a web page where you can download Eudora. It also has information on how to buy Eudora so you can use it in paid mode. Qualcomm also maintains an FTP site where you can download Eudora software and updates.
