Mozilla Thunderbird

I recently learned about Firefox...it blows IE away, i think.
I also came across thunderbird to view your emails. I was wondering if it is worth downloading and using.
What are your thoughts about this program. I use yahoo right now, is Thunderbird better?

If you are using yahoo for a free yahoo account, then just stick with that. If you are using a paid yahoo account, then you can get pop3 access, I believe, so give Thunderbird a try and see if you like it. It doesn't cost you.

I have Outlook 2003 and Thunderbird and Thunderbird is a lot better.

I use it to check my comcast and gmail email...

If you're looking to use it as an alternative to Outlook - I'd go ahead and switch. Most people who I've had migrate from Outlook to Thunderbird are very happy with the change.

Well i went ahead and downloaded thunderbird. But when setting it up it ask for the pop server name for Yahoo. Where would I find this info? I looked around online but what little info I found was not helpfull.

Yahoo Free email account? if so pop3 is not available. The only solution i can think of is getting another email account at gmail.com (has a lot of features, big space and pop3 enable)

no need for invite just go here

What makes Thunderbird better than Outlook?

[brandon184]

Some argue that Outlook does search better than Thunderbird, but I'll disagree hands down. Thunderbird introduced me to e-mail searching. It does it wonderfully, and it does it nice and simple like.

Thunderbird also does message filtering better. Plus it's got built-in spam blocking. It also has RSS feed capability, extensions, skins and better at offline synchro.

I've switched people over to Thunderbird after Outlook has completely mashed their mail. Or after a virus has gotten ahold of their address book. It seems to me, and maybe I'm mistaken, that these problems just don't happen -- or are rare -- with Thunderbird.

Interesting, I have never had any problems with Outlook, works perfectly. But I like to test new software so I might have a look at this Thunderbird.
