Mmmm,

It's a nice little offering. Seems to handle large mailboxes well, is 
pretty nippy on Find and Sort options in large mailboxes, has a 
pretty good anti-SPAM engine, and, because it concentrates on being a 
pure e-mail client probably shades a lot of other offerings (like 
Outlook, Entourage etc) which are more multi purpose as an e-Mail 
client. (It offers vastly more find and filter options, is 
immeasurably faster in operations involving large mailboxes, and 
renders a hell of a lot better HTML than Outlook, Eudora or whatever 
if that is an e-mail format you like.)

I still use Eudora by preference (hey, 'old dogs and new tricks') but 
Thunderbird is definitely one I could go for if Old faithful someday 
keeled over or was abandoned by Qualcomm.
