Didn't this happen many years ago? Qualcomm had announced its intention around 2006 that Mozilla would be taking over the development of the open source version. If I remember correctly after 5-10 intermediate builds they put up a release in 2010 which was a TB based version with the extension being called Penelope.

Wow - Eudora - before gmail this was my life.<p>Now I just use it to backup gmail.<p>(recently switched to thunderbird for the backup)

The best result would be if the Eudora features were available as a/several Thunderbird add-on(s). Woz still uses the original Eudora because of some simple features: <a href="http://lifehacker.com/5222989/how-apple-co+founder-steve-wozniak-gets-things-done" rel="nofollow">http://lifehacker.com/5222989/how-apple-co+founder-steve-woz...</a>

Seems to be it's just Thunderbird with UI tweaks. I would've preferred the original Eudora codebase from the 90's. Didn't even know they ditched it.

Poor Eudora. Once you were my steady but no conversation threading and corrupted mailboxes pushed me away. And your ill-fated marriage to TBird was little more than a theme.<p>Signed,<p>A former registered user<p>P.S. Postbox FTW!

Is there any particular reason that Eudora didn't simply get folded into Thunderbird?

How is that news? Besides, won't Thunderbird 3.x be EOL'd soon?
