Qualcomm is to stop selling Eudora, the venerable email client, and is hand over development to the Mozilla Foundation.

This makes a deal of sense: Qualcomm always was a strange home for Eudora - it does cell phone chips, not desktop software.

In future, Eudora will be free and open source - while "retaining Eudora's uniquely rich feature set and productivity enhancements". And it will share the same cross-platform code base as the Thunderbird, Mozilla's open-source email program. Hopefully, this will mean improvements to Thunderbird, as well as greater stability for Eudora.

Lord...I remember using Eudora back in the day...like 10-12 years ago or so. I think the last time I looked at it (last year sometime) I remember thinking the interface looks like it still came straight from Windows 95. Hopefully they'll improve that in the shift to Thunderbird.

Cheers
