Steve Dorner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steve Dorner developed the Eudora e-mail client in 1988 as a part of his work as a staff member at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Eudora was subsequently acquired by Qualcomm in 1991. Dorner also developed a popular online directory/phonebook in the early 1990s commonly referred to as the CSO nameserver.

Dorner received his bachelor's degree in 1983 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

In a 1997 interview with the New York Times, Dorner said he resisted moving to California by building an office in a 1950s bomb shelter under his home.[1] Later, he moved to a heated shed. Dorner is now one of Qualcomm engineers tasked with shifting Eudora to a Mozilla Thunderbird base.[2]
