Windows 10 Pro goes Home as Microsoft fires up downgrade server

*Calling* support seems to have fixed it

I would never do this, but actually had to call the support phone and laboriously typing in the activation code. After that I was transferred to a support person. Since my local one is closed it was transferred to a person with a very pronounced Indian accent. They were nice and just told me to wait while they verified the code, then asked me to re-enter the license again, and this time it actually worked.

So it might help to go the old-school route and just call support.

Whatever happened to the email app?

Great article!

Ah Eudora, my trustful emailing companion through the late 90s, early 00s, before they (Qualcomm) threw in the towel and stopped updating it. So many features, the best filters in a GUI client, excellent keyboard usability, it even had an LDAP client :)

The others mentioned here are nice clients, I've tried most of them, GUI or not, but always ended back with Eudora. The interfaces of the others were just too clunky. I migrated quite happily to Thunderbird in '05. TB has enough features to be useful to me, well supported and nice plugins. I do miss Eudora's filters though...
