Superior? NOT!

MasterE@... 6th Nov 2009

Three times I've attempted to setup Thunderbird to be my email client and three times I've gotten less than half-way into specifying all the email accounts, processing rules and folder setups when it crashed and took out 3/4 of the work I did as well as most of the emails that had come in from setup to crash.

At least I'd had the foresight to set the "do not delete from server" options so that Outlook at least retrieved them without loss.

Oh, and this was three different versions under XP Professional, Vista Business, and finally Windows 7 Ultimate.

Having been involved with microcomputers for well over twenty years, to have this much trouble setting up an admittedly complex email system should not be fraught with such chaos.

I do love Firefox though. But Thunderbird is simply not stable yet. Maybe it is for a single email account and limited rules and folders.
