Giving Thunderbird Another Try
I have tried to use thunderbird for spans of days and weeks in the past to see if it could make me a convert and each time I have gone back to OS X’s Mail.app after getting frustrated mostly with Thunderbird’s sluggishness on the mac. In the past week, Mail.app has been starting to choke on me quite a bit and with a universal version of Thunderbird available I have decided to give it a go again. The universal version takes care of my speed complaints, leaving me with my other complaint – It’s Ugly. Thunderbird doesn’t look too bad on windows or linux, but on the mac, it is a gnatsy looking program. I wish that the folks at flock would consider creating a version of it.
