  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?

    Zealot: "Oh God, I had to install Quake 3 in Windoze for some lamer friend of mine! God, what a fucking mess! I put in the CD and it took about 3 minutes to copy everything, and then I had to reboot the fucking computer! Jesus Christ! What a retarded operating system!"

    You forget the last part: and then all my other games stopped working, because it wrote DirectX version N over DirectX version (N+p) (p>0).

    But what does this have to do with Thunderbird?

  4. Or you can use the 1.5 beta by matt+me · · Score: 5, Informative

    The 1.5 beta has inline spellchecking, some new RSS features and a nicer options UI.

      I have been using the nightly versions of 1.5beta for the last week and haven't run into any problems. The incremental updates are working well, most days these are quite small, about 200KB, athough it was 6MB the other day (but I suppose you expect that with developmental versions)

    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.

    That's probably because Playboy is an official mirror of, among other things, Mozilla Thunderbird. Nifty, isn't it?

    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.
