While I've never used Eudora, I think that KDE would be the least 
amount of "surprise" for a new user.  KMail will most likely be the 
best mailer that "just works", so clicking on a link in a mail will 
bring up the browser, etc., so unless your user is looking for an 
_Outlook_ equivalent, it should be more useable.

Overall it is probably the environment that requires the least amount 
of fiddling on the user side.
