I played with Thunderbird for a while too and decided it was not worth the
effort. It does have some nice features that OE does not have, but for me
they just didn't outweigh some of the other peculiarities of it. I'm past
the point where diddling with software packages like this is fun, so I lost
interest after a short time. I'm still using Firefox, but probably only for
a short time. It's much slower than IE, and although I can't really prove
it, it seems to have a memory leak of some major proportions. I've checked
for patches or updates, but there are none on the Mozilla site. I'll
probably just go back to IE and its shortcomings.

===================
I find Firefox to be much faster the I.E..... BY FAR... and have not
have any memory problems...

I checked and the current version is only 1.0.... you still using a
Beta version..?
