Whoa. Eudora. Haven't heard of that in more than a decade. You certainly brought a nostalgic smile to my face this morning, Bob.
I was a died in the wool MH user. Then switched to Netscape. Then Thunderbird. I liked having my email in plain text files that could be moved from desktop to desktop to desktop as I upgraded my hardware. Simple. Reliable. Then I found myself using multiple devices and POP + Thunderbird got unwieldy so I switched to IMAP + Thunderbird. Even that got to be a pain, particularly when the interwebs were slow or I spent a long time away from home on a trip. I finally joined the dark side and switched to a paid G Suite account. The Gmail UI isn't too bad, runs on any device that happens to be in my hand at the moment, and has POP and IMAP for interfacing to old clients (or exporting mail) should I ever want to do that. The only downside is that I have to pay for it. (Do note that I am talking about the paid G Suite, which does not have ads, and not the free Gmail which does serve up ads.)
Give it a thought. If you want to move your archived emails into Gmail, it's simple and I can coach you through it.

Just looking over the history files and

Maybe I should figure out how to archive

in 17 years!

Art I don't think free gmail has ads any more. Maybe it's just my version but I can't find any ads and cannot remember seeing any for at least a decade.

Both my regularly used email accounts are with gmail. No ads. Think about it; google doesn't need to push ads at us because they're collecting our lives & selling them to the people who *do* push ads at us.
I *really HATE* gmail's native web interface. I use Thunderbird as my email client; works across computers but unfortunately their team hasn't had the resources to port it to android. Closest thing to a decent email client I've found for android is Bluemail. Far from ideal, but much better than the gmail app; at least for me.
