  Strengths: Free client.

  Weaknesses: No search capabilities, no conversation view, not cohesive experience.

  Overall Evaluation: Thunderbird worked ok as my basic email client. I recently switched over to Postbox, which has been out for about a year from the original developers of TB. Postbox has search and conversation view, and overall usability is just a lot better. Highly recommended: www.postbox-inc.com

  Strengths: Handles IMAP better then Windows Mail etc ever has. Have been using Thunderbird for years now and am generally happy with it over Outlook Express, Outlook, Windows Mail (live).

  Weaknesses: Sometimes fails to put sent items in IMAP online folder and has to be canceled, not big deal for me though.

  Overall Evaluation: Unless they make it so I can customize the 1 1/2" header pane in version 3 I probably won't be upgrading, on my 19" wide screen its' fine but on my laptop it leaves me with empty space wasted. I work with a remote person sending me graphics for a web page, Thunderbird handles this the best for me to save and use.

  Strengths: Simple and great for those who don't need clients as heavy as Outlook.

  Weaknesses: Not aware of any.

  Overall Evaluation: This is a great client, especially if you are a Vista convert and are completely revolted my Windows Mail. Do you miss Outlook Express? If so, then this is definitely what you want, but just remember that you will have to find your way around to configure it and that is quite simple.
