Thuderbird as an Evolution replacement ? (Evolution things...)

[Dave Sampson]

I have been a long time user of Thunderbird and previous mozilla 
projects... I like it...

I have only started recently using Evolution for a calendar. The 
calendar plugin in thunderbird is not as nice. but e-mail is still full 
thunderbird...

I have it accessing 4 pop3 accounts, and one account that I just 
decomissioned had 12 e-mail filters based on source and destination. I 
am on several mailman listserves and have e-mails for specific purposes 
eg volunteering, work, personal....

Thunderbird does the job for me. I also like it's SPAM filtering. If 
your ISP has spamassasin settings then thunderbird will filter your junk 
e-mail and learn on the fly what to add to junk e-mail and delete them 
or relocate them.

Then there are the extensions... and well that where you have to research.

have Fun
