Simon (S2) writes "Thunderbird 0.9 is now available for download! New features include Saved Search Folders (aka Virtual Folders) which allow you to display messages based on previously set search criteria across multiple folders. Message Grouping allows you to organize e-mail in a folder by grouping them based on various attributes like Date, Sender, Label, etc. Thunderbird 0.9 also includes numerous bug fixes and other improvements. For more information, see the release notes. Builds can be found on the mozilla.org FTP server or in the release notes above."

My reasons to switch:

1. Profile, preferences, rules, contacts, etc are easy to backup. You can have all your files in one place and you choose where.

2. IMAP support in Outlook really sucks... in a way i can`t even describe it. Thunderbird is perfect with IMAP, and no need to purge messages manually...

3. Saved Search folders in 0.9 are great. They are like views in databases, but for your messages.

4. RSS support to keep you up with the news.

5. Great extensions makes Thunderbird even better.

6. It looks much better than Outlook Express.
