What do you know about Thunderbird?

I've never used Thunderbird, but I was wondering if it would be worth switching to. What has been everyone's (anyone's) experience with it, and how does it rate compared to other email clients?

(Should I be looking at Macworld.com instead?)

I made a move to Thunderbird a little over a year ago, but I ended up switching back to Mail. I like how it is integrated into OS X better.

TBS, I keep a portable version of Thunderbird on my flash drive for those terribly unfortunate times when I have to use a PC. It's really seamless running from flash drive.

If you are one of those people who is forever pissed off at how poorly Mail handles IMAP folders, then Thunderbird is a really good option. But if you value the integration aspect, then you just have to stick it out with Mail.

HTH.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
