RE: [wdvltalk] OT: Thunderbird
UMM, you didn't notice that I was talking about for my MAC? Yep, I have both platforms. I just don't care for Thunderbird as news reader. I tried others as well. Also, other than the Office programs (primarily Outlook 2007, One Note & Word) I use Dreamweaver, TopStyle and Fireworks the most. Though I do like the new Expression Web, it is light years ahead of FrontPage and in some places better than Dreamweaver 8 so that it will be interesting when MS gets the bugs out and a few more features. I love to see a competitive market. Without Firefox there would not have been an IE 7. Without competition then who knows what Adobe might have done with Dreamweaver and GoLive.

Quoting Cheryl D Wise <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I haven't tried it in about a year when I was trying to find a decent newsreader for my Mac (OS X 10.4) It lasted less than a day but your mileage may vary. The news features of Thunderbird aren't that great, I'll agree - it's a bit like a program I used to have many years ago (I think it was called NewsAgent) and was fairly basic last time I looked. As a mail client, Thundbird is great. If you want a fast, searchable and organised way to browse the newsgroups, the best reader I've found (and it's completely platform/OS independent!) is wait for it... yep, you've guessed it: http://groups.google.com/ Cheers, Matt Cheryl D Wise MS MVP FrontPage http://by-expression.com Online instructor led training http://starttoweb.com -Original Message- From: Drew Trusz [ On 10/30/06, Peter MacGregor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Anyone any experience of the Thunderbird OS Email program?

Quoting Peter MacGregor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Anyone any experience of the Thunderbird OS Email program? Comments - Good Bad or Indifferent welcome. I'm happy with Firefox and am very tempted. It's all I've used for the last few years. If you use the calendar/contacts/to-do functions of Outlook, then you might be worth looking elsewhere or downloading the plugins, otherwise it beats look-out distress (Outlook Express) hands-down. For ages now it's been advising me that links in scam/phising emails don't point to the URLs they say they do (something that only now IE7 is doing) and it automatically marks emails as junk with about a 98% sucess-rate. It also marks emails as Scams and only loads images when you want it to. It's also not based on IE, so it's not vulnerable to the same issues as Outlook.[1] HTH, Matt -- Matthew Macdonald-Wallace [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Sed quis custodiet ipsos custodies?" [1] Not that it is completely impervious to attack, it just happens less often (i've let to see a virus that targets it specifically...)

Re: [wdvltalk] OT: Thunderbird
Thunderbird rocks. Enough said. It was a touch fiddly to begin with setting up multiple e-mail accounts not knowing if I wanted a single set of shared folders or sets for each account but now it's just great! It's internal junk mail filtering is also quick to train and so much easier (and reliable) than Anti-virus bolt-ins. It will even import your existing Outlook Express inboxes which was brilliant for migration. Overall run with it and enjoy!
