<flame> Thunderbird really is a big pile of crap. There are bugs everywhere! I havn't seen something this bad since KDE 4.0. The only reason I didn't switch to mutt yet is that I don't know how to replace the filter feature.
You know when projects start playing the 'version number game' the important part of development suffers. I have used thunderbird for years without complaint. In the past 12 months it has archived mail into oblivion and really suffered a lot from the (I want to be a web browser too) bloat...
It is comical to think how many years it took to go from version 1.x to version 2.x in slow measured steps, and now:
