Hello MFPA,

Actually, that's a fair point. It's absolutely true that webmail seems to
dominate - I can't abide the minimalism of webmail, especially after using
TB!. But on the open source client side Thunderbird seems to be quite
dominant, although still not for me.

Yeah, I've tried it a number of times as well. For me it just doesn't cut
the mustard, but for others they seem to get along with it okay. TB!'s
filtering and feature set is second to none IMO. There'd have to be
compelling reasons for giving up TB! in favour of something *I consider*
inferior ;-)

Yes, you never know, it is still possible. It may depend on how long I hold
this current grudge ;-)
