I'm dating myself - I worked at a mac/windows shop in the early '90s, and my 
boss had a plan to replace a mac-based email system called QuickMail with 
WordPerfect Office, an earlier version of Groupwise. It took so long to try 
and customize it for what we were going to use that people got tired of 
waiting, and we set up a BSD box with Qpopper and bought copies of Eudora 
Pro for the office. Turns out that we didn't need groupware, just email - 
and Eudora/POP3 worked great.

I have the Eudora sound on my phone for new mail, still.   :)
