Creating eMail accounts is very easy – if you use Gmail, you need nothing more than your eMail address and password. You can organize your eMail in folders like you organize your files on your hard drive; tags support you in another more current approach to information retrieval. The inbuilt spam filter helps in the never ending fight against ‘email marketing’. Like its companion Mozilla Firefox it can be adjusted to almost anything with the help of extensions and its appearance you change with themes to your personal liking.

From time to time, very seldom indeed, you will receive an eMail you cannot find. Don’t panic: simply restart Thunderbird, OK? Then you’ll see it alright...

Thunderbird is equally suited for the novice and for the advanced. It works out of the box, needs apart from the email account no prior settings, and with your growing experience will still keep up and turn into the email client you always wanted
