History of Eudora

Eudora was named after American author Eudora Welty, an American short story writer and novelist who wrote about the American South, because of her short story “Why I Live at the P.O.” Originally distributed free of charge, Eudora was acquired and commercialized by Qualcomm in 1991. In 2006, Qualcomm stopped development of the commercial version and sponsored the creation of a new open-source version based on Mozilla Thunderbird, code-named Penelope, later renamed to Eudora OSE. Development of the open-source version stopped in 2010 and was officially deprecated in 2013.
