I use Thunderbird too. I like it. But I prefer to compose mail directly
with Gmail. It does a better job cleaning up messages with the "remove
formatting" button ("*T*x" icon).
Gmail also does a better job putting the messages in conversations, whereas
Thunderbird does a better job sorting them by date, author, or finding them.

Yup.
After a year or so I recommend you download them and store them locally. I
do not fully trust the cloud.
