I started using Thunderbird for the first time in many years a few days ago. I honestly really like it. I don't know what's motivating the many others to switch back, but privacy concerns have to be one of them. Pros: * For times when I have slow or no internet, I can still read and compose email, and it will be quite responsive * It works with all the mail accounts I use, like my gmail account I'm trying to depricate, and the fastmail account that now hosts my own email address * The Enigmail plugin is probably close to the best UI one can create for GPG * While the UNIX romantic in me would prefer to use Mutt all the time, even my finely tuned Mutt setup can't seamlessly deal with things like HTML emails all the time. Cons: * It's a huge software package, and often takes quite a bit of memory * I don't currently know how to make it tie into a keyring for storing passwords, so I either have to let it store my email account passwords in plain text, or essentially have a second master password * It's not the prettiest software in the world, but it's not bad either. the UI is at this point pretty unremarkable, so while it doesn't amaze, it doesn't confuse too much either * I don't know its keyboard shortcuts, or even if they exist, well yet, so I'm using the mouse a lot
