does anyone use thunderbird as their email prog.
pros and cons......
I tried it, Baz, but I found it didn't work too well with digitally signed mail.
I use it, and have no problems. What do you want to know, Baz?
do you use digitally signed stuff a lot Rik.
I ask about Thunderbird as, once again, its one of those progs that I tried before but couldnt get used to it, maybe I just didnt give it long enough. The prob I had was one of having different identities in Thunderbird. where we were used to easily switching from one user to another with Outlook Express, it wasnt so straight forward in TB, having to get add ons and using passwords a few times etc. maybe its different now, thats why I was thinking of trying again, also getting loads of spam recently in OE.....
anyone want some viagra pills :D :D :D

I used to, Baz, as some of the work I did really needed verification. I still do if I need to email a bank or solicitor, say.
I still have TB on my system, Version 2.0.0.12. is that the latest
ignore this :D just checked and it says there is an update available but says its the version I have :D :D
Who said that? ;D
I use TB all the time, have never had any issues with it (apart from when I used to flirt with trunk builds). I use Enigmail plug-in combined with GnuPG for encryption and digital signing, again, no issues...
You can now have a global Inbox, Baz, if you don't want everything going to separate accounts. As for spam, it won't stop it, but you may find it manages it better, once you've got it trained a bit.
I find that Outlook 2007 sorts spam realy well and is fuss free. ;D
I don't get any spam. I really appreciate all these people wanting to help me out in such personal areas. ;D :out:
A massive vote for Outlook from me as the best client (2007 is my fav, but both XP and 2003 are good too!).
I have no problem with Outlook, but while using Firefox, Thunderbird seems the logical choice.
Not to me, it doesn't. ;)
Well, you have to be different! ;D
Naturally. ;D
Naturally different, as in two heads amd six legs?
No AMD here, Malc, I'm all Intel. ;D
But how many processers?
Six. :)
:eek4:
Thought you'd have the most.
One for every limb... :eek4:

2000 at least had a habbit of corrupting PST files a lot and while there was a repair tool the repaired files were never quite right afterwards (a bit issue I ran into was emails that could be viewed fine but could not be copied into a new clean PST file). I don't know if this has improved in later versions. The fact I had some hard drive related issues probablly didn't help.
I preffer apps that store my important data in an open format that if worst comes to worst I can write my own parser for.
