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 switched from Mail.app to...

I switched from Mail.app to Thunderbird a few weeks ago, Mail was becoming unusable with the numerous IMAP accounts and several thousand emails ive got stored.

Thunderbird is also not a perfect solution, no intergration with OSX addressbook (but its coming soon, a patch is in there for 2.0) and also on my Powerbook it seems to freeze up when coming out of sleep. I enjoy the fact I can sync my profile between my USB key, Windows PC and Mac quite easily just by copying the files over, never will I have to suffer with my Mac being out of sync with my Windows thunderbird install for mail filters and stuff.

Generally it a matter of personal preference, but give it a try at least :)
