I use Thunderbird, not only as an email/news client, but also integrated with OpenOffice. Thunderbird's addressbook works great with OpenOffie! I also use Sunbird as a standalone calandar, though you can get a calandar extension for Thundirbird that works within Thunderbird (if you need a calandar like Microsoft.) There is no 100%, iron clad, entirely secure email client. However, compared to Microsoft's offerings, from all what I've read, Thunderbird is considerably better than Microsoft. I cannot compare Thunderbird to Seamonkey. I've never used Seamonkey. I have used Mozilla's Suite. However it was too restricting compared to Firefox and Thunderbird. Greg

If there is a better place to ask, please let me know? I have heard of issues with security/spam/phishing and Thunderbird in the past on other groups to which I belong. Before I migrate from MS Outlook, I am considering both Seamonkey and Thunderbird. I have to admit, I like the way Thunderbird functions, while Seamonkey reminded me of an older version of Netscape I used years ago, but is (according to their online literature) a "complete internet suite". If anyone has a comment or two on their use of Thunderbird or Seamonkey or why they prefer one to the other, I would appreciate hearing them. You can contact me offlist if you prefer.
