I have Eudora 3.0 which I've been happy with and didn't have a need to
upgrade. Howerver, Earthlink, now has a requirement that I use Eudora 5.0
or higher because of security upgrades.

I went to eudora.com and downloaded 6.0 successfully, but there wasn't a
9.1 version, where the site said they had OSX and Classic. Is Classic not
9.1? Any sites to download 5.0, 6.0 for version 9.1?

When I downloaded 6.0 it ran fine in OS9.2- and in OS10.2 and 10.3 as
well. I never ran OS9.1- but that was effectively identical to 9.2, so
the 'Classic' version should run fine in 9.1.

No, it isn't. "The Classic Environment" is a Mac OS X feature to allow
running (most but not all) Mac OS pre-X software. Mac OS 9.1 is Mac OS
9.1.

For "The Classic Environment" to function, it needs an installed Mac OS
9.2.2 though (with some additional files).

This is apparently so confusing to many, that they say "Classic" when
they mean Mac OS 9. Apparently Qualcomm joins in the confusion (possibly
thinking that using the right term would confuse people...).
