I could never get Thunderbird to work like AOHELL when it came to e-mail.
Eudora ?
Until a Mozilla mail client can hotsync and activesync to and from blackberrys, palm and windows mobile phones, (and Blackberry enterprise server!) without having to do manual (or macroe’d) conversions into and out of outlook and outlook .pst files, Mozilla can’t take on Microsoft head on. Yes there is software available to do this, but it costs money and is really really slow.
Uh, I see no reason to "improve my e-mail experience." As long as it gets to the intended recipients quickly and reliably, it seems to me the quality of the "experience" is dependent on the sender's content, not the delivery software. Just as all I demand from a browser is to load & display pages correctly, not to enhance my web-surfing "experience."
Similarly, Thunderbird is fine as it is.
“Currently, the company that owns most of the world’s mailboxes—Microsoft— has done little to nothing to improve the e-mail experience. E-mail today is essentially the same as it was 10 years ago. This is almost criminal, given how much time we spend in it.”

Microsoft waits. They let Mozilla do all the innovation and creation. Then within a few months they copy everything.
I generally like Thunderbird, but I have to admit, Outlook Express beats the hell out of it for inline attachments and graphics handling, not to mention things like embedded tables.
Apple’s Mail app is even better.
I use Thunderbird at home. I hope they don’t decide to change the name yet again!
