Nice to see win XP continues to be a supported platform.
Honest question - why? There are kids enlisting in the army now that were born after XP was released.
Thunderbird is still the best crossplatform, multi account mail client around. Everybody migrated to webmail, but for those old grumps of us who still have multiple email accounts, and maybe even follow some newsgroups, tb is still the best player in town. Thanks tb team for your work! I love you all!
A proper mail client also seems essential for taking part in mailing lists. I used to use gnus but got too frustrated at people sending me email in stupid HTML formats that I couldn't read. Thunderbird is the easiest thing to use that behaves like a proper mail client but also deals with the garbage from bad clients like Outhouse etc.

> Everybody migrated to webmail That is so far from the truth it isn’t even funny. Outlook reigns in corporate and phones have native clients. Hell, i am still waiting for POP3 to die.
I'll have to give it a shot, but the last time I used thunderbird it was unusably slow at pretty much everything. Compacting my folders would help for a day or two, and then it'd basically become unresponsive for 30s or more with any user input. I hope they focus on performance in coming revisions.
I've been stuck 31.7 for years because it's the only version which honours font preferences in OS X. Theme and Font Size Changer was useless after version 41.1. Someone please tell they've fixed this nonsense.

At the moment I am using Wanderlust, to help with the html I have set it up so I can open them in firefox.
Opening HTML mail in a browser is risky due to all the scripting possibilities ... Thunderbird's HTML component allows no scripting and disables loading (remote) images (tracking when I hope the mail) how do you deal with that in such a setup? (Actually use evolution, but would like to switch to something smaller ...)
IME, it works out rather well for most HTML emails I receive.

I really prefer Seamonkey's Mail cleint (it has the same roots as Thunderbird), especially since you can always switch back to an good old desktop-like theme. Has been rock-solid since 15 years.
How well does it work today? Does the mail client have the ability to sign up for RSS/Atom feeds? Does it have a calendar built in? What about chat? (I guess I'm one of the rare Thunderbird users who actually uses all of those features).
