Are you quite sure that Mail.app doesn't do authentication?  I use it 
when I take my Powerbook to my office and check this address without 
trouble.  Of course, for my "real" email I use Eudora 5.2.1 (6 is in 
beta and I haven't tried it out yet).

But for the dash-vs-@ thing, that's only for the "nickname" that 
automatically gets stored in the history.  If you drag those history 
entries into your regular Eudora address book, you can call them 
whatever you want and not use a variation of the address.  Of course it 
would be good if Eudora could interact with the Address Book app.
