it together. Please take a few minutes to answer the questions below by

3. What makes Thunderbird different?</pre>

It is a swiss army knife... and like that tool does some things
poorly. Things like moving user data to another device not at all.
But it generally has something for everyone.<br>

It is clean quick reliable and delivers the user interface into my
mail that I want (individual user, not me personally)<br>

Note I did not mention secure. Data on the local device is
inherently secure. Data in transit is a server support issue.<br>
I did not mention encrypted as that is still a very very niche
market. Of high concern to a very small group of users. but if
they all left only about half a percent of Thunderbird user base
would be gone.<br>
I did not say user friendly a that is inherent in all good software
design. Thunderbird still has a way to go there as we still rely on
command line switches to get things done. and it is almost as if the
GUI was an afterthought really.<br>
