:)  I remember that sound.  When I started using the internet in 1995, I installed the free Eudora email client, which seemed decent.  I used that for quite a while, but then I remember Eudora starting to nag to buy the full version.  I then switched to Mozilla Thunderbird (which was able to import my Eudora email), and I didn't look back.
