i think I am soon tired of thunderbird 3.. I could revert to vers 2 but why is the newer vers slow, laggy, semi-stallish?
has anyone else a funky thunderbird vers 3? any switch values to cause it to work quicker?
alternatively,
what is your favoured mail news client for POP3, IMAP, Syndicates, news groups NNTP, all in one?
I want a better program.

I've had problems with it, but not those. My issues were: * kept showing all the read emails in a folder as unread (solved by setting mail.server.default.use_condstore to false) * hogged up CPU and disk space with indexing (solved by setting "Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Advanced Configuration -> Enable Global Search and Indexer" to off) * showed unread folders in a weird color (solved by changes to the userChrome.css file) * buttons missing from top toolbar (solved by "Help -> Migration Assistant -> Use original toolbar") In other words, I wound up wasting about an entire day (!) surfing around the web trying to figure out how to undo all the "features" that they added for 3.0 that broke all the functionality that I relied on. (Sigh.) Since then, though, I'm pretty fine with it. I've still got one little peeve I haven't figured out yet: how to restore the behavior where it displays a little shiny icon/indicator when a folder has new unread mail in it. (Probably another tweak to the userChrome.css file, I'm guessing, but I don't know what OTTOMH.) DR
