Eudora and OE are fine under both 9 and X, even encouraged. I've used both, but prefer Eudora. Localnet even gives the usual 4 or 5 extra mailboxes, and I've accessed them with personalities without incident. Connections are standard PPP and I get 56K.
The routine mail server works in the same way as I've seen anywhere. Webmail (web-based email) is the only thing that doesn't work as I'd expect. If I decide to check my email on a trip home or at a coffeeshop, there might be fifty or more inbound messages. I might be interested in only one. The other 49 also get added to the webmail message server and are removed from the mail server, so I can't download any of the 50, unless I do it one message at a time. This happens to all the messages inbound at that time, even to messages that I don't view at all. As a result, I end up not using localnet's webmail at all. I asked about it, and I guess there was a problem they had with people that like webmail kept too much mail on the server, unlike all us well-behaved Eudora users. While their choice doesn't affect me day to day, it is a pain when I'm at the parents'.
