Hey all,

Just wanted to let those of you who don't know about a sweet new email client from Mozilla. It is called Thunderbird and it pwns.

So far the BEST feature I have seen so far is the ability to search your email folders. I can't tell you how many times i wished outlook had that when i am looking for something specific.

Anyways it is totally open source and there are tones of extensions you can install into it for superior customization.

here ya go

Go to Tools -> Extensions.

Minimise the main window, and drag the .xpi file into the Extensions window. It will install.

I was also persuaded into using this one, and it's quite nice to check my gmail account.

But I can't figure out how to use a Hotmail account on this thing.
After looking it up at their site they say I have to install the web-mail extension, but when you download it, it's some weird file with a xpi extension, and I have no idea how to install that.

Any help would be appreciated men :)
In the meanwhile I'll keep searching!

Yeah, DJ pointed me towards Firebird. It apparently is more secure than Outlook Express as well, not sure exactly how though. But yeah, it's a nifty tool, better than waiting for a stupid javascript to load with Gmail.
