Mulberry is perhaps the best of the lot, but it does not work
perfectly.  For instance Mulberry has the bad habit of locking up
Windows XP.  The last time that happened, an important unanswered
email vanished from the server.  And Mulberry's editing new email
features are really unacceptable.

Thunderbird has lots of glitz and glamor and name recognition, but it
is several years behind the rest in features.  Move back a couple of
years and go through the whole cycle of new broken features and maybe
fixes later?  No, I don't think so.

Yes, it happens on occasion, not nearly as often as in the past.
