Thunderbird

by Anonymous on Nov 02, 2004

Thunderbird has several problems: (Nov 2004):
1) Unstable crashes sometimes
2) Big and clumsy (like outlook) for example recreates a whole set of folders for each pop server!
3) "pollutes" the email folders with files which should be hidden (index files)
4) Does not allow editing the "subject" line, or delete attachments.
5) Cohabitates poorly with kmail. index files creates problems.
---------
Thunderbird has a nice user interface, but needs more work to be at par with its close parent: Firefox, which is very good.
I am sure it will come.
I would suggest that all Linux emailers can use the same Mailbox, if the user wishes to use more than one.
At this time I will stick with kmail which is more mature and "clean".
