And once again, I have to agree. If anything, T'bird was actually a
bit more visual and GUIfied - for instance, you could just click on
the blob that indicates read/unread status to toggle it. In Apple
Mail, it's a menu operation.
And of course, T'bird is quite happily cross-platform aware: I've
moved a TB2 message store freely between Mac OS X, Windows XP and
Linux with no problems. TB1 struggled with non-native path names -
TB2+ seem to just use relative paths and sort themselves out. I was
really quite impressed.
