5 One of the best e-mail clients for Linux
2 weeks ago

Liszt
1 Avoid like the plague!! Every time it is updated something else seems to go wrong! They make you update and it has a new look which then doesn't fit on your screen. All I want is a simple, reliable email program. I used to think this was really good, about 6000 updates ago.

5 Solid. As a multi-platform solution, it stands unchallenged as an example, on the same league as its cousin Firefox. The same care (or almost) given to Linux as to other platforms.

4 Works fantastically, though it can be tricky to read and retrieve contacts from the MS Outlook file. The trick it appears to install Thunderbird for windows, convert the MS Outlook file to that Thunderbird before transfering the Thunderbird file to the Linux Thunderbird. Weird that but everything else works beautifully.

5 Excellent client, there's no better email client in the world! (AFAIK). @kneekoo, just copy the /home/[user]/.thunderbird/profiles/[random_id].default/ folder to the same location on your new computer, edit /home/[user]/.thunderbird/profiles.ini on the new computer and change Path=[random_id].default to the correct name of the folder you copied across. That's pretty easy if you ask me, compare that to trying to show the quick-launch in Windoze 7, or any other seemingly simple task for that matter ;)

4 It's the mail client I choosed to use after plenty of trying. Certainly, there is space for improvements, e.g. import function for appointments from MS-Office Outview. If you are forced to use at work Microsoft software, it would be nice to synchronize some of your data, such as appointments with the clients of different OSs at home. Since Thunderbird is lightweight and works fine it is a real improvement for people who have a slow/instable internet connection (e.g. mobile internet in Germany). Why then not 'awesome' for Thunderbird? It is not straight forward to set it up to connect to any possible provider. There are thinks to know (e.g. different ports) if you wish to use instead of a google mail account your webmail account from the local provider. It's a jungle and there are no good man pages for Thunderbird on this matter.
