  1. Radnom thought that just popped in... by sznupi · · Score: 5, Interesting

    You know, I just realised something... For years I've been using various e-mail clients...initially mainly OE, than Thunderbird (with some other in between, for shiorter periods of time). However, my email usage skyrocketed (literally) in last year, since I've been using Gmail. Sudennly...using mails started to be a joy for communication, somehow :/ So...what did I miss while using clients? Or perhaps...what do they miss?

    I'm still using Thunderbird.

    I have four different accounts (ISP, Gmail, general university and CS department email). It's much easier for me to set up POP3 access to each and check them all at the same time with one program.

    All my mail is in the same place, and I can get at old email when I'm offline.

    Better yet, on Windows they could allow T-Bird/Seamonkey/Mozilla to import email and settings from something other than Outlook/Outlook Express/ Eudora.

    Until the email client can import from other previous versions (Say Seamonkey can import Mozilla & Tbird, and T-bird can import from other versions of itself) by using a widget, not twenty manual steps, the email client is a big no-no.

    I know that the import widget exists, because it was included in one of the Mozilla builds - a long time ago. Unfortionatly, there was a decision to remove the import from Mozilla function. A very stupid one.
