All,
Can I please this very divergent opinion-fest to a close. I did suspect
my question to cause this. I seem to be gifted with this. I'm not nearly
as bright or well-connected as the List seems to be.
I have done what Neil told me to do. I now know that I have an ESET
glitch with Thunderbird I need to decide about.
I do know how to test this after I go cut the grass! Like, later tonight!
I seriously appreciate all the comments received. All these replies
managed to get ThunderBird working. Almost.
I have tried to decode/transfer my current TBird settings to Eudora
(v5.1.1) and now am trying to debug Eudora. Eudora is still doing a
major DELAY getting new INBOUND msgs. But, it does seem to SEND new mail
FINE. I do suspect this may be the new "SSL" requirement. So, perhaps
my Eudora is just too OLD to play "SSL" properly......
I can deal with this.
To wrap-up:
Current Eudora does not seem to play nice with new settings(?)
I believe that the current Mozilla Thunderbird does not like my use of
ESET for 'outbound' email scanning. I know, it seems stupid to do
outbound email scanning. I do somehow agree; but that is the default. I
run as mostly default here as I can! Much less grief. I do not have to
remember all my "tweaks." Tests later tonight to follow......... :)
Thank you for all your opinions. Understand your personal choices. Even
can fully comprehend some of your choices........
I do not do Cell Phone.
I do not do HDTV.
I do not have cable anything.
I do not have an HTPC/HDPC/H?PC/Game console.
Thank you again. I will raise another thread when I can formulate an
appropriate question.
Best,
Duncan

In general I still prefer offline mail readers. Gmail+IMAP integrates
perfectly with mail.app, so my gmail recipes+tags and everything work
perfectly in conjunction with offline reading.
HOWEVER... I might take issue with the "far faster" statement. At work a
number of people have THunderbird mailboxes that probably in all exceed
3-4GB. (say 4-5 years of email). When searching for an email from "a
couple of years ago" or even doing a full body message search of the
last 6-12 months, it can take a long time! Mail.app has much better
indexing and is faster than that, but compared to gmail where you can
literally instantly search tens--probably hundreds--of thousands of
messages? That's hard to beat...

Far faster and far more features. Offline email handling isn't exactly
possible with web based email either.
Backup of your email is something a bit difficult to do as well.
Especially
with Gmail.

Frankly, I don't understand why anyone still uses Outlook or any other
stand
alone email client.
