Six months ago Mike Silverman switched from Eudora (‘antiquated and abandoned’) to Apple Mail.

He writes a thoughtful piece on the transition and what’s good and bad about Mail.app in comparison.

His major frustration is the old “Mail-craps-out-on-mail-check-and-doesn’t-tell-me” bug. If this happens to you too, check out this applescript that forces accounts to go back online.

Mike has also posted an email from a fellow ex-Eudora user, listing eleven things to miss about Eudora.
