Yes it is possible, but you may have trouble with one or the other
program eating all your new mail. I mean when you open OE it will grab
all the new messages from the server and delete them from the server, then when 
you open
eudora it will do the same thing. The solution is to set one or the other
of them to leave messages on the server. You can do this in OE by going
to tools/options... the maintenance tab, and the leav messages on server
checkbox. There is a similar setting in eudora, but its been a while
since I used eudora so I don't remember what it is.
