Which version for XP?

I currently run Eudora 4.3.2 (paid) under 98SE and everything is fine. But I'm
about to have to set up an alternate XP laptop for an extended trip. So I'm
wondering/asking which is the minimum version I can use in that XP environment.
I say minimum because I want to mimimise any learning curve of new/altered
features. And wil this require me to adopt a less-than-paid configuration?

I was running 4.2 on W98, NT4, and XP until recently with no problems.
I've now upgraded to 5.2 to get SMTP authentication working. You should
have no problems running 4.3 on XP.

I can run any version from 3.0.6 through 7.1.0.9 on my Windows XP.

There is no incompatibility at all between any version of Eudora
and any version of Windows since Windows 98,
except for a very few isolated things in Eudora version 7
which don't work perfectly on Windows 98/ME.

There are distinct advantages to later versions,
so I would "go for it," especially since latest-version
"sponsored" mode (now ad-free anyway) contains more
than even version 5 "paid" mode, and besides,
"Paid" registration info gets posted here again and again anyway.

Eudora has not changed any fundamental things over its history,
just added more optional things that you do not have to learn or use,
unless or until you encounter limitations (or bugs) of older versions
which now are surmounted by added abilities (or fixes).

Would one be afraid to move from a cottage to a palace,
because the entire palace has extra rooms somewhere
that one might never even use?

My response on one upgrade was "wow, it searches
faster than it did before," as indeed it did,
but I learned to get used to it and not mind
