Thunderbird vs. Mail.app... why?
I'd like to know why you Thunderbird users out there would choose it over Mail.app. I don't know much about the details of Thunderbird and don't really want to pour through the literature about it. Just looking for an informed summary of why it is better than Apple's freebie.
Thunderbird vs. Mail.app... why?
Honestly, Thunderbird stinks in comparison to Mail.app. It's slow and it's not really Aqua native--all the UI elements feel like they're pasted on with Elmer's glue. I'm pretty sure most people who prefer Thunderbird do so because they're rabid open source zealots.
Thunderbird vs. Mail.app... why?

Wow. That open up a can of worms, lol. Anyway, I appreciate the advice about Thunderbird. Sounds like, as someone with only 1 mail account, switching to Thuderbird (or Mozilla's mail) might not really be worth it. I've personally never had one bit of trouble with mail.app so I think switching would end up being not worth my time. Thanks! (btw, I AM thinking of switching back to a Mozilla product for browsing instead of using Safari. As much as I like Safari, the fact that it cannot handle certain sites (usually secure, financial ones) is a major problem for me.) -CrimNap ---

Ever since updating via Software Update to 10.3.5 (from 10.3.4) circa Aug. 2004 my Mail application crashes regularly. About once every ten minutes. |
