Eudora Lite 5.0.1
PPC
Shareware

Eudora is currently the king of the free Macintosh email applications. It supports SMTP, POP and IMAP servers, provides multiple mailboxes, offline reading and replying, supports MIME, has balloon help, and is very reliable.
This version of Eudora can be run in any one of three "modes" -

  • Paid mode, which is equivalent to Eudora Pro
  • Sponsored mode, which gives you all the features of "Paid" mode for free,
    but displays advertisements as you use it
  • Light mode, which eliminates several of the coolest features of the program
    (and doesn't display advertising, either), giving users an equivalent to the old
    "Eudora Light" application, albeit a much more up-to-date version.

Paid and sponsored modes add many features, including a built-in spelling checker and more sophisticated message filtering. Also, check out EMailman for a complete listing of plug-ins and other utilities for Eudora, to customize and extend your control of the interface, such as PGP and Applescripting support.
