I have quite a few copies on paid for software scattered all over just in case Thunderbird has some issues with me but I have little choice as I have about 70K emails I have saved over the years and converting to something else will be a pain. Thunderbird had some issues with taking minutes while going from one email to the other but now it's working fine. My favorite mail program was MacMail but they have changed it so much that it's not the same program anymore. Thunderbird is a poor second place. -- Cecil - k5nwa
