I've been using Eudora e-mail client for something like 15 years now and have never had a problem with it on all versions of Windows I've used from 3.1 up to 8. However, I understand that the traditional version (7.1.0.9 which has been around for several years) may not work under Windows 8.1 so I'm looking for an alternative.
One of the most useful features of Eudora (as per my usage anyway) is the ease of creating extra folders to store messages that I want to keep for a considerable time and the ease of backing up those folders. That being the case, a major requirement is that the replacement software will import old messages held in Eudora folders.
I tried Thunderbird yesterday and it failed miserably on the import. I tried several times but it eventually hung for no apparent reason (no error condition flagged, just hung) and completely corrupted the contents of several messages.
I refuse to use MS Lookout and Lookout Distress and require an offline client not webmail.
Any recommendations (bearing in mind the necessity to be able to import messages from Eudora)?
