Hi Randall,
I use Thunderbird at work, but not by choice. It pales by comparison to the current KMail. If I were you, I'd check that out instead of Thunderbird.
... that's obviously not the answer I expected. Nevertheless, I'd be happy if you could tell me what KMail has to offer that Thunderbird does not, other than that it mimics Outlook way better than Thunderbird. But since I hate Outlook, the choice is obvious for me. Also, I don't like it when applications start to integrate into each other too much like KMail does in Kontact. This creates a lot of security and stability issues which M$ has demonstrated to suffer from way too often. So, what is it that makes you love KMail and hate Thunderbird? Thunderbird does exactly what it's supposed to do, beside the little bugs it has. But KMail also has bugs, so that's not an issue to discuss. I guess the rest is kinda religious and thus academic, unless of course you can tell (and convince!) me what is so great about KMail compared to Thunderbird. Until then, I stick with Thunderbird and the spell checker bug. -- cul8er Paul paul.foerster@gmx.net
