I have been using Mozilla Thunderbird for several years now. There are some reasons it has become my favorite email client. Firstly, I sometimes switch between Linux and Windows, and for the multi-platform usage Thunderbird is ideal, since you do not want to use two different clients. Secondly, this application not only manages your emails but also does many other things. And moreover, its features can be expanded by using any from a long list of available add-ons. In addition, if the application's interface seems a little plain to you, it is possible to change its look by applying any of the available skins.
If you are already familiar with Microsoft Outlook, starting to use Thunderbird will surely be an easy task. Moreover, you can use the tabs in the interface to display messages or access other services. Obviously, you need to set an email account before you can start managing your mail inbox. Mozilla Thunderbird will make this task very easy and even offer to create a new account for you. Fortunately, you can set various email accounts, which you can compartmentalize by using different folders. Not only mail accounts can be managed but also chat accounts and RSS. Fortunately, it supports multiple chat servers, such as XMPP (Jabber, Facebook), Google Talk, IRC, Twitter and Yahoo. Finally, the built-in calendar (Lightning) allows managing your events and triggering alerts, what is more, your calendar can be stored locally or on a server. more
