Ever since I started using Seamonkey 2.x, I've been torn between using it and Firefox + Thunderbird, so I use all 3. I've used Firefox since 0.6, and have numerous extensions I can't live without. Thunderbird 3.1 is really great, with threaded conversation view and so on. SM beats both of them by being tightly integrated and taking up less memory. I want to set up an email client for my father who is not quite a tech savvy user. He primarily uses GMail for mail, and as of now just accesses the site directly via a mostly barebones Firefox installation.

From what I've seen on this group, most Seamonkey users are power users, or Netscape Communicator fans who miss having an all in one client. Seamonkey itself has quite a few complicated features over Firefox and the preferences UI can be daunting for an average user.

Would it make sense to switch him over to Seamonkey and setup his Gmail account via IMAP, as opposed to installing Thunderbird?

Has anyone else setup Seamonkey for friends and family who are not exactly tech savvy?


I've done that -- it works fine, presuming your friends/family like the way 
you've set it up!
