| thunderbird "Upgraded from Thunderbird 2 to 3 yesterday. Upgrade is not easy for inexperienced users since there is no debian package. Took me a while to figure out how to import my mail folder. Nonetheless, I recommend Thunderbird 3 because it brings my IMAP and POP3 inboxes together into one single box." |
