For those uninterested, these unused features create
unnecessarily 'clutter' or rather adds unnecessary complexity to the
interface. I use Getright's simple interface and switch to the advanced
interface only when I need the advanced functions, simply because the
simpler interface is less cluttered and I find what I need more quickly.
I did the same with ICQ while I used it.

It's easier to leave them alone if they aren't in your way. The
menus are loaded with choices, 80% of which they will not use. Mind you,
I love TB! as it is. I use most of it's functionality to the point where
I cannot switch because there's no other Windows e-mail client that will
do what I do at present, and I've checked.

FWIW, I imported thousands of messages from Forte Agent without
event when I migrated over a year ago.
