Thunderbird works fine, if you're ok to do things Thunderbird wants to do things. The last time I tried it, it decided it wants to have copy of all the email from my IMAP-server locally. If it were a laptop with sufficient disk-space, then it would be ok. But as it's a desktop where I want to have usefull stuff locally. Having a copy of all my email locally on a desktop with gigabit connectivity to the mail-server doesn't really give any benefit. With that behaviour, I never bothered to see how replies would look. -- Joost
