I think my having to use ThunderBird has been misunderstood. There are many features in TB! that ThunderBird lacks and I don't see them as nice features to just have anyway. I find them *essential* to effectively and efficiently managing my mail. All ThunderBird has is good/reliable IMAP support. It has nothing else really. There are some extensions currently available, but none that offer any real functionality. When I couldn't read any messages with TB! on my slow connection at work, ThunderBird was a better solution since it converted my situation from one of not being able to read IMAP mail from work to being able to do so. ThunderBird proved to be a solution for me at this very basic level. I'd never really entertain comparing the two once you're up and going with reading mail as I now am with TB! at work. Now that TB!'s IMAP works well enough for me to read mail from work, the thought of using ThunderBird is now laughable. They simply don't compare once we get beyond basic fetching and reading of messages. -- -=[ Allie ]=- (List Moderator and fellow end-user) PGPKeys: http://key.ac-martin.com Running The Bat! v2.11.03 on WinXP Pro (SP1)
