(Sorry for the top post, the client I'm on right now doesn't do bottom posts
well.)
It sounds to me like losing e-mails happens on many e-mail systems. I've had
this happen to me twice with Thunderbird, which is often touted as a top notch
e-mail system.
For what it's worth, in my previous job, we used Outlook, and I NEVER lost an
e-mail in at least 8 years. So I wouldn't necessarily conclude that Outlook is
"bad" for this issue and other systems are "good".
However, I've never tried Seamonkey, so if that IS in fact better than most, I
may try switching from Thunderbird to Seamonkey on my home computer. (Before I
once again lose a lot of e-mails that I really needed to keep.)

Really? Have they fixed the problem with corrupt PST files, which cause you to
loose all your messages? My work computer came with Outlook, but I switched to
Seamonkey, because it is so much better.
