I guess I am going to have to disagree with that.  TB Imap is not
perfect, but it is the pick of my list which includes:

Thunderbird 
Mulberry
Becky
Sylpheed
Eudora (and Penelope)
Pegasus
Gemini
Courrier
Pocomail

TB is the pick, because it is the most well developed Imap implementation with 
the most configurable interface, with tolerable html in email display.  It is 
true that Mulberry's Imap is more complete, but I don't find it more trouble 
free.

It seems to me that the real issues that TB must confront right now, as a 
commercial product, are the successes of Thunderbird and Gmail.  Thunderbird 
succeeds, it seems to me, primarily on the basis of flash and glitter.  It's 
email handling tools are years behind many others, which is natural since it 
has had a lot less time to develop them.

So, yes, a little glitter and flash for TB, please.  And let's get TB 
interfaced with Gmail, so users that are attracted to that product find they 
can enhance it with TB, rather than see TB as a lesser choice.
