Eudora is an E-mail Client used on the Microsoft Windows and Macintosh Operating Systems . It also supports several Palmtop computing platforms, including Newton and the Palm OS . It was named for Eudora Welty because of her short story "Why I Live at the P.O.". Eudora was developed by Steve Dorner in 1988 as a part of his studies at the University Of Illinois At Urbana-Champaign and was acquired by Qualcomm in 1991 . Eudora pioneered the concept of a folder list pane that was always present. Originally distributed freely it was commercialized and offered in both a Light (, Payware (removes ads), and the classic "Light" mode. Eudora (6.0.1) added support for Bayesian Filtering of Spam with a feature called ''SpamWatch''. Eudora (6.2) added a scam watch feature that flags suspicious links within e-mails in an attempt to thwart Phishing . Eudora has support for 'Stationery', that is a standard reply that is prepared ahead of time to a common question. Eudora stores e-mails in text files, rather than in a database like Microsoft Outlook , allowing the user to back up portions of their e-mail correspondence without backing up the entire Database . Eudora supports the POP3 , IMAP and SMTP protocols. REFERENCES
