Thunderbird kicks ass!

After using nothing but Pine for years, I decided to seriously try out Thunderbird. I've been using it for Usenet for a while now, but not for mail.

Boy, was I pleasantly surprised! It rocks! It's acutally fast, implements the IMAP protocol well (server-side searching rocks) and allows me to do most of the things I was able to do with Pine.

So give it a whirl if you haven't tried it. It's free, cross-platform, and best of all, isn't Microsoft.
