Well here's my answer to your question for what its worth. Outlook and Outlook Express are not secure email clients so I never bothered to use them, I always used Eudora Pro.
Then came a time not long ago when Eudora wouldn't do all the tasks I required of it and tat was a shame because the software was nicely accessible and well laid out on the screen so I thought I'd give Thunderbird a try, it had been well written up and well reviewed on this list, I think that was about 5 years ago and I've been happily using the software ever since though granted, the Windows PC machine isn't my primary machine these days as I prefer to use my Mac and Iphone but another story for another time I guess <smile>. Just about everything you can imagine in Thunderbird is configurable, if you can't do it in the menu and option system then you can do it in the configuration editor so the programme is not only aimed at the novice user but has many features to please the advanced user. I also appreciate the simple interface of the software, yep took me a while to learn how to navigate through it but thanks again to everyone on list who gave me tips and tricks, navigation through the various panes is "easy as peasy" as they say.
