I run it on Win10, with stunnel to handle the bits involving talking to the
internet. 

I guess 7.1 was released in 2006. I'm not really sure what version 8.0 of
Eudora is, nor if Eudora Open Source Edition (from 2010) was useful or
interesting.

And I guess Project HERMES now exists, that was based off of the Eudora
source code. But that hasn't seen an update in two years.

Like what?

It's possible that I'm missing various things, but while I use Outlook at
work, I can't say there's much there that I appreciate more than having my
e-mail databases in plain text.

But I do mean that question seriously; it's possible that I should give up on
Eudora. I just haven't heard about any tempting features.

Unlike, oh, browsers, where the closest I'll get to an old browser is using
frogfind.com or 68k.news. But I use those because lots of the internet would
be better in plain text, not because I want to experience Netscape 1.0.
