I hate Eudora becausethey only support version 2 LDAP, which is
incompatible with the LDAPv3 that everyone else uses.
I can't decide whether or not to hate their error messages. Personally, I
like them; they're informative (they like to quote bits of the POP
conversation that went wrong) and amusing ("I said 'PASS <Sssh, don't tell
anyone>' and the server said '500 User not found'"). But, sadly, most
regular users of the program tend to be confused by the error messages.
The cuteness gets in the way of understanding them, unless you're more
knowledgable than the average end user needs to be.
We're switching to Mozilla Mail at work. (And probably from there to
Thunderbird, once it's done.) I'll be bittersweet about seeing the
backside of Eudora. (At least it's not Outlook...)

The more involved one is in a flame-war, the less likely one is to
recognize it as such.
