Although I've never used Eudora (mainly cause it was commerical, and yes sue me, I'm cheap. I went to Pegasus mail :) but I figured someone here does, so thought this would be of interest.

Qualcomm has said that new versions of their commerical e-mail client; Eudora, will be based on the platform of "Thunderbird" from Mozilla. While retaining the rich feature sets, and enhancements, all future versions will be free, and open source (IE: FOSS).

The new version (FOSS) will be will be released in the first half of 2007, and when that happens, they will stop selling it commerically.
