I've always preferred Firefox. If I want to check my mail and NG's, I'll just fire up Thunderbird. Mozilla Suite always used to take forever to start up.Admiral Valdemar wrote:Can I aks you something? Do you use the full Mozilla package or did you get Firefox v1.0 on its own? I've been wondering whether to go back to having a full package, though I don't know whether it's beneficial.
Basicly the same difference as IE and FireFox. Better security, better features, etc.What is so special about Thunderbird? What does it do in comparison to Express or Outlook?
I DLed Firefox on its own since the previous versions of Thunderbird didn't fully support profile migration. I wasn't aware that they were in a package format like Mozilla.Admiral Valdemar wrote:Can I aks you something? Do you use the full Mozilla package or did you get Firefox v1.0 on its own?

Ah, nobody had mentioned it here.observer_20000 wrote:It's been out for a while actually. I've had it installed on my computer for months...
It's not a buggy, worthless product riddled with security holes and it does the exact same thing. Plus, it can check multiple POP3 accounts.JeanLucPicard wrote:What is so special about Thunderbird? What does it do in comparison to Express or Outlook?
I doubt it...there's probably proprietary encoding or something. Microsoft seems to tend to force people to use its products to access its services.Praxis wrote:I've been curious, does anyone know a way to get Hotmail accounts working?
Seems MSN dropped POP3 support, since Hotmail now will not work in ANYTHING but Outlook. It's frustrating, especially since I had my father switching to Thunderbird but now he's going back to Outlook just for Hotmail (he's already using FireFox).
I know where you live! Bwaahahahaha!Admiral Valdemar wrote:I'm too lazy for all that crap, Computing Stalker Person. Think I'll stick with just the browser for now,
Yes it does.not like this crappy network allows me to access Usenet via an e-mail client anyway.
Is it better then Eudora?Dalton wrote:It's not a buggy, worthless product riddled with security holes and it does the exact same thing. Plus, it can check multiple POP3 accounts.JeanLucPicard wrote:What is so special about Thunderbird? What does it do in comparison to Express or Outlook?
Yes. But you have to enable POP on the options page using the web based interface of Gmail. If you haven't already done it, that is...andrewgpaul wrote:Does it work with Gmail? Since I'm slowly migrating to that rather than Hotmail.
I've never used Eudora, but Thunderbird suits my needs perfectly so I don't see the need to pull my hair out trying to import my mail into yet another clientAce Pace wrote:Is it better then Eudora?Dalton wrote:It's not a buggy, worthless product riddled with security holes and it does the exact same thing.

Ah. may try it again; tried it once before, but it wouldn't work with Hotmail, so I got rid of it.observer_20000 wrote:Yes.

It's less ambiguous than "you" for the second person plural pronoun. Of course, someone who used "y'all" as a singular pronoun really is a dumb hick.Admiral Valdemar wrote:"Y'all"?

You missed my intentional comedy too. How many saw "aks" as a typo rather than an imitation of a rather annoying southern state pronunciation?sketerpot wrote: It's less ambiguous than "you" for the second person plural pronoun.

I presumed you did it as a joke. If I'd figured you were taking your vocabulary in *that* direction, I'd have had no other alternative for the future of your profession but to have you assigned to roundin' up dem cows what gots a transmissible spongiform encephalopathy hurtin'.Admiral Valdemar wrote:You missed my intentional comedy too.

So long as it isn't Outlook, it should be good. Thunderbird has rave reviews, or so I recall, and Outlook is the virus target of the world. Either way, changing your client is a good idea.More to the point, is there any *better* platform than Thunderbird for e-mail? I'm one of those old-fashioned stuck-on-Outlook kind of fellows but am willing to try anything if it's better.
