If you access multiple email accounts on multiple PCs and want a highly adaptable interface, Eudora's your thing.
The program manual is included on the CD (in the folder as above) in PDF (Adobe Acrobat) format.
In Light mode, Eudora has many fewer features, but is free of charge and without ads.
In Sponsored mode, Eudora displays ads. It's fairly discreet and means you get the full power of Eudora for free. After a trial period, Eudora will ask you to profile yourself to continue to use the full free version, enabling it to display ads more relevant to your interests.
In Paid mode, Eudora does not display ads and you get the full power of Eudora, but you do have to pay.
