- I've not seen Fernmail, but I use Eudora every day and it is GREAT. The
- author Steve Dorner is still doing very active development on it, and it is
- still FREE. (It does require MacTCP on a network.) It's a POP client, so
- you have to have a local POP server set up first, but that's easy to do on
- a Unix box.
