My deep thanks to both Andis and Gregory for their comments. It tipped the scales for me in favor of Thunderbird over Seamonkey. I'll be downloading and migrating to them today, fingers crossed. Wish me luck. Thanks again, WJ Seidl

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.

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.
