[Hidden-tech] Ideal E-mail Platforms

[Rich]

The current Thunderbird is a long way from earlier versions,
it has a global pre-index, which I personally don't like but works well for many.

On the other hand I NEVER will use outlook or allow it as an supported company option
call it my "MS has too many strikes against it to trust it" theory.

unrelated discussion
