    Used to.  Thought it handled multiple email accounts much better than Outlook.  Trouble is, it doesn't handle synchronisation with PDAs as well as Outlook and it can't fully integrate with Exchange (which my company uses) the way Outlook can.

    I also once used it. Good alternative for Outlook. But I don't know it has issues with Exchange.
    If I may suggest, you may look also for Evolution mail, another open source alternative. Im currently using it.

        I'm sure somebody uses Thunderbird, but I can't find anyone to listen to my opinions let alone use them.

        Use it with my Gmail account.
        I like it much better then Evolution, Outlook Express & Outlook 2007.
        It's really easy to backup too (unlike Outlook 07).

        Thanks,

        I tried to drink it a couple of times, but that stuff is just way too strong for me. I think that it's made for the hardcore alcoholics.

        Unless you are paying for Yahoo! Mail Plus, you have to use something like the WebMail extension for Thunderbird.

        I had a little trouble setting it up but it worked.
