Anyone use T-bird?
I'm still using Eudora.
I tried Thunderbird...it looked pretty, but stunk. It would appear to send messages, but wouldn't - I never knew if an email would really arrive or not, most of the time not. I don't know what the problem was, but I won't use it until they make a better version.
I use it because no one seems to be properly maintaining MH. As for Firefox, it has better useability in some respects than Mozilla (particularly with bookmarks), but it has more bugs and glitches. I wish the darn program would stop trying to write to C:\WINDOWS\TEMP. Annoying as hell.
Eudora rocks. Even with the ads, it's very nice. However, If they ever become overly agressive with the ads - I'm gone.
I use KMail on my linux box and Mail.app on OS X. Required to use Outlook at work.
I may have to take a look at T-Bird.
I tried an earlier version, but couldn't see a strong reason to move away from Outlook. I do use FireFox however, miles better than IE. I might try T-Bird again now that it is 1.0 release.
I think this article has a good analysis.
JWinNC
I like Incredimail.
I use Thunderbird and it works great for me.
I'm using firefox and thunderbird. firefox is great, thunderbird is really, really slow. But I'm on an old laptop with nt. But they both work. I'm willing to give them time.
I use it simply because it was free it came with Firefox. It's okay, nothing bad, in my experience. The junk mail filter is a plus.
I switched to T-Bird and am very happy with its performance so far. It "learns" your mail preferences and so far, has done a fine job for me.
Of course I use FireFox...and it is excellent.
Image Zoom (right click and hold on an image and use the scroller to zoom in and out right on the webpage)
Tabbrowser Preferences (adds some nice extras to tabbed browsing like middle clicking a link launches a new tab and sets the focus)
TinyURLCreater (Right click on a webpage and choose "Make tinyURL, and it does so and copies it to your clipboard)
And my number one favorite is - BugMeNot. It a sort of shared account manager for websites that require a registration (like newspaper websites require you to make an account to read an article). When you get to a page that asks for a log in, right click one of the registration boxes and choose "BugMeNot". It will search a central repository to see if there is an account for the site. If it finds one, it will autofill the login field and let you in. If it doesn't find one, it will ask you to go ahead and register an account there and submit it for other users. I haven't found a newspaper type site that it doesn't have an account for yet!!
I tired it for a few days. I didn't have much luck with it.
I love Firefox.
