Why run an inferior email client when a superior one is at hand?
Email clients are a bit like cars, of which there are many to choose from. You pick because of some combination of features that suits you better than the others you've looked at, availability, and/or something particularly compelling to you that is missing from or poorer than others.
I would agree with this in general. I have over time used EMail clients on VAX/VMS, Symbian/PSION, Linux, IBM VM, Windows and DOS. Some were truly horrible. The strength of Thunderbird is that is cross platform, and if you need use both Windows and Linux the benefits of having a similarly configured Mail client on both platforms to my mind outweighs any advantages of using the 'best' mail client for each. (If you need to know IMHO this is Evolution in Linux, and TheBat or Pegasus on MS). For a multi-platform solution not using a Web Client Thunderbird is better than any alternative I know of. I am not certain of the current status of Eudora (but I never liked it so that is irrelevant to me), and anyone using the EMACS mail client must be a masochist by definition :-). - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
