Dave,
I always liked Eudora under Windows XP, but more recently I used
Outlook Express and really came to like it. It was my favorite Email
program to teach because it was so easy and intuitive.
Having said that, when I got a Windows 7 machine, I couldn't have
Outlook Express, and I didn't like Windows Live Mail. So I downloaded
Thunderbird on a whim. I really like it. It imported all my mailboxes
from Outlook Express (though you have to know where to find them), and I
could've imported my contacts if I'd used that feature of OE. The
biggest thing about Thunderbird that I like is this: I have about three
Email accounts that I check in Thunderbird. Without the need for message
rules or filters, it defaulted to keeping each accounts Email folders
separate, which I prefer. If I want to read my Comcast Email, it's in
one set of folders. My formyfriends.org Email is in another, and my
UCoupons Email is in another. It seems like I had to change a few
settings for maximum accessibility, but I don't remember what I
changed. Setting up Email with non-traditional servers (such as when
you own your own Domain) took a little bit of doing, but now that I've
done it, it's really seemless.
To be fair, if I were still on XP, I probably would've stayed with OE,
just because it was so no frills. But Thunderbird is my preference in
Windows 7 for sure. I've probably been using it for about four months
or more, and it works fine for me.

ditch that? What are the overriding benefits of Mozilla Thunderbird?

Subject: Thunderbird Blind officially launched
Hi all,
A new script that supports braille for a free email client called
mozilla thunderbird is now available. Much testing has gone into this
and a stable working version is at:
www.ThunderbirdBlind.com
Please feel free to visit the site. For those using windows live mail,
ditch that and get with the program!
Cheers,
John Martyn
