I really wanted to love thunderbird. I'd tried it in the past, but was put off by lack of support from my spam-reducer of choice (cloudmark). It's now supported, so I decided to give it another whirl. Honestly, I just think it's not quite good enough yet - at least if you need something more than a basic email client. There's no blackberry integration (I know, I know, that's not Thunderbird's fault) and the calendar plug (Lightning) is pretty poor compared to outlook. It's just got the feel of something that is a little bit 'beta'... usability is not the greatest (the issue mentioned above with the SMTP settings is a prime example - I had to google the answer, which is fine, but many people will just give up). I'm not saying I'm never coming back, but what I am saying is that for the time being I am going to have to stick to the resource-hogging, turd-like Outlook. Word to your mother. I hate outlook.

I tried hard, and tried to convince my partners to migrate to TB. But, no way… Most important, Thunderbird team is not interested in solving this problem. I tried a tool: Aid4mail 1.9 and I almost get it, but again, some messages (HTML format) did not look good. And I don’t know how many of all the imported messages were broken. I want to mention I’m not a newbie, I’m an experienced application developer, so I always manage things to work when software is the subject, I respect Open Source Projects, but this time I quit, it’s an embarrassment for all the community!

Maybe calendar and email go together under certain circumstances, but not always. Why not just use thunderbird for mail and sunbird for a calendar? That's the way I'm doing things. Sunbird has an addon to connect to your google calendar so your information is always in sync. Just a thought.

As a sysadmin I am always charged with finding more cost effective ways of doing business. We are currently transitioning our office automaton fro m Miscro$oft Office to Open Office and evaluating e-mail replacements for Outlook. Needless to say I have spent countless hours evaluating, testing and writing business opinions on what direction should be taken. I can say that given the profound cost of M$ office and outlook, we will be moving to Thunderbird. It looks and feels so much like outlook that the learning curve for our client community will be next to none (they are mostly the ID10T types). As for why, simply it's open source and for the most part stable. Anyone who would sit and complain about touting a company name as a reason for approving a particular product truly needs to re-evaluate thier own machine, chances are they bout it because of name recognition, as for being free, you;re a fool if you would openly pay for a product when you can do jst as well in the open source world. And before some half baked junkie starts calling me an open source freak or a *nix geek, I make my living off Microsqish. so long as Bill Gates writes crappy software I have a job :) But I won't pay him for his mistakes.

The reason why I like thunderbird is the fact that they realized that they were making an email and stuck on that idea. the only thing i expect from a mail client is to send and receive mail and nothing extra....when you start adding all the other features then you start having problems. To summarize the mozilla foundation has a good product. Oulook is a good mail client but it tries to do more than just that.
