Location on CD: software/windows/messages/eudora/ | |

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.

| MailWasher 2.0.40 | |
|
W9x/Me/NT4/2000/XP |
| Free – latest version | |
Location on CD: software/windows/messages/mailwasher/ | |
MailWasher is another tool in the ongoing fight against spam (junk email). It can let you see email on the server before downloading and so delete unwanted messages (this facility will already be available to many of you via your ISP), but of more interest is its ability to bounce unwanted email back to the senders, making them think you (or your email address) no longer exist. Sounds great!
