>Thunderbird I think I will skip it then, can't afford to lose years of correspondence.Shouldnt you be backing up your old emails? I'm if I'm afraid of losing data I dont blame the application, I blame my lack of backups.Im not saying your should switch to anything, but putting the onus on backups/archives on the client by assuming it will never screw up seems very unfair.

Is this a bug? When this happened to me it was my antivirus catching an email virus and because of how TB stores mail, it takes the file with everything.

>Ideally, it would be cool if we could export files back into windows mail/outlook express format, that way we can allow our users to go back to outlook express if they are not happy.This is doable. There are a few guides on good on how to do this. Its not natively supported.

1.5 should be 1.1. 2.0 should be 1.2. This is beyond ridiculous.It's amazing to thinh that the difference between Mozilla (the suite) 1.6 and 1.7 is much larger than the difference between Firefox/Thunderbird 1.0 and 2.0. Same developers, completely different mindset.Looks like they want to get to 8.0 before Microsoft...

In evolution you can do this by choosing View->Group By Threads. Overall I find Evolution much nicer than Thunderbird although I may try v2 of Thunderbird to see if it is up to snuff. The downside with evolution is it works well on Linux, windows+mac might be sketchy. Another downside to evolution is it is supported by Novell, so if you disagree with Novell that might be a problem.

Awesome, I tried installing it and it first got rid of my current Thunderbird installation (incl. mail settings) and then quit the installing saying it couldn't find some file. Already a wonderful piece of software.

"What happened to the days of digg having the news before slashdot?"Check reddit. They're always ahead of the curve.

Ok, for anyone who is having this problem on Windows XP, uninstall it, back up your profile folder in C:/documents and settings/yourname/application data/thunderbird to a safe location, delete said thunderbird folder, and delete the thunderbird folder in Program Files. Install it again and copy your profile folder that you backed up back in it's original location. That worked for me.
