Switching to Thunderbird from Eudora is pretty easy. And Thunderbird is
a much more vital project; Eudora was feeling like it was reaching
end-of-life. Compare that to the explosion in
Thunderbird/Firefox/Mozilla extensions, for example. Maybe Eudora has
kicked back into gear, but with the number of bugs they didn't fix
between 5.0 and 5.1beta, I felt like I had no choice but to switch.
We made this switch system wide (200 users) a while back and got very
few complaints. I think I wrote up a one-page doc of important
differences, that easily could have been shorter. We use IMAP so the
issues with transferring mail were very small; I don't know how much POP
might make it more difficult for you (although Thunderbird's import
options seem very good).
