E-Mail

It seems after many years I shall have to dispense with Eudora, probably the easiest-to-use e-mail programme available: beautiful look to it, loads of features, and very easy to use. Until now. My ISP refuses to recognize it: "connection aborted due to timeout or other failure (10053)". Mickey$oft's Outlook works a treat, as does Opera's e-mail client, and Thunderbird is rather hiccupy but useable. Right now I'm trying to figure out Pegasus. It's a German product with all that implies, i.e., magnificently constructed, does everything anyone could ever want, works flawlessly, is not at all intuitive, extremely convoluted mechanics for setting up one's preferences, and it may take the rest of my life just to read the instructions. And, yes, one needs to read the instructions. Vide the phrase about "not at all intuitive".

Sigh. I miss Eudora. You'd think a firm as big as Qualcomm would be a bit more aggressive at fixing bugs.
