I wholeheartedly agree - Thunderbird is awesome, one of my favorite programs out of the ones I use daily, and has worked well for me for over a decade. I know of no alternative that is suitable for me.

While there is a bit of room for improvement, I dread the types of changes to Thunderbird that are so often discussed. Now that a generation has been raised on webmail, it seems that very few even understand the many benefits of Thunderbird or why someone would not want webmail.

I'm not the right person to try to teach people about the benefits of Thunderbird or educate them on why webmail is a scourge. Thank you for your comment - at least it will help people start to realize that there might be a silent majority out there like us that find great utility in Thunderbird and that aren't looking for a Gmail clone or a copy of the Apple equivalent.
