OT: Solving My Outlook Problem with Thunderbird

[Guest guest]

So, I've decided that instead of reinstalling Outlook which has gone

wonky on me, I'd try Mozilla's Thunderbird for e-mail, since I SO prefer

Mozilla's Firefox browser to IE .... wish me luck - this is my first

message out ... ! :-D

[Dave:] Gawd, yes!! Let us know how Thunderbird works out. I’m

considering the same change.

I made the switch months ago...

 

Honestly, I actually like Outlook (not Outlook Express) but Thunderbird is a

fantastic personal user email client, especially if you add in the Lightning

add-on. Don't use the Calendar add-on, it is a dead project. The Lightning

project is reworking the Sunbird/Calendar code from the ground up to be more

tightly integrated with Thunderbird.

 

Thunderbird still has some things missing that are in Outlook, but it is a great

replacement unless you need enterprise class PIM, which most uf us don't.

Thunderbird with Lightning is a great personal/small biz PIM. (Personal

Be well!

Hi folks,

 

Thanks to everyone who has written me on and off list about Thunderbird!

 

So far so good, except that it imported all my old e-mails in plain

text, but it is receiving html mail now, so its not a big deal.

 

Anya would love it cause its default seems to be bottom posting for

replies! *lol*

 

Andrew, my hubby is all into the PIM end of Outlook, so he'd hate it,

but I am just looking for e-mail, so I'm liking it!

 

As I use it more I'll let y'all know if it has " issues "
