Hi Roger,
Are you talking about "Eudora Pro 3"? - if so, I have a legit copy, but I
didn't try it yet because the manual shows just a "POP3 account" field in
the host setup - I need a separate "incoming mail host" field, and the
POP3 username must be able to contain am "_at_xxx.yyy" which is DIFFERENT
from the configured host (it gets sent as part of the login string
apparently).
Do you know if Eudora3 actually supports such a misconfigured server
setup?

This one should do it:
http://www.eudora.com/email/archive/pro_email3/
If not, try here:
http://www.pmail.com/overviews/ovw_winpmail.htm
(you'll have to search thru all the 32-bit shiznit to get to the 16-bit
schtuff -- scroll down near the bottom...)
They still have a DOS version, as well.
Hope this helps,
