Just saw these last couple of responses. Thanks Myles for the suggestions. As of Tuesday I've made the switch from Thunderbird to mu4e for my work account. So far it's fantastic, so I definitely recommend it for Emacs users. The ability to store links in org files is a lifesaver, and helped me to stop using my Inbox as a ToDo list.
And I get Emacs autocorrect (abbrev-mode), which is primitive but pretty useful for me. I have zsh instead of bash and it has an autocorrect feature that I don't quite understand, but helps me out from time to time.
