  1. its the biggest difference between Outlook by Zantetsuken · · Score: 0, Redundant
    So I think its great that its being souped up, the only reason I would EVER use outlook over thunderbird is calendars, but that would be if I used em in the first place

    cool looks like 1st post

  2. How does this relate to Sunbird? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Redundant

    How does this relate/compare to Sunbird? Replacement and they gave up on Sunbird altogether?

  3. working backwards? by Tylerious · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So they decide Mozilla is too bloated with all the features, etc. So they split it up, creating a pure browser and a pure email client. And now they're just adding these features back into the purer versions? What's next? Adding page rendering to Thunderbird and an IRC client to boot?
