| 325207 | 2005-02-15 03:53:00 | Am I missing something here? What with all the excitement I've been trying Thunderbird for the last month, rather than Mozilla which I've been using for about 12 months I think. Apart from a somewhat flashier appearance it seems to work pretty much the same as email under Mozilla. I'm planning to move back to Mozilla when I get around to it, but I wanted to check that there was no reason to stick with Thunderbird. I've not tried Firebird, but does the same apply there too, and if so what is all the fuss about? |

If Mozilla works for you, why not leave Thunderbird/Firefox installed just in case you get the urge to use them, and continue to use Mozilla? At least you're not an IE user, so you won't have to worry about security issues :) |

| 325210 | 2005-02-15 04:33:00 | Firefox and Thunderbird are designed to be stand-alone applications, you can have either or both. Mozilla is a browser-email suite with both the applications combined. If you have happy with the Mozilla suite, then there is no need to change. Some people prefer the stand-alone applications as there isn't so much extra lugguage automatically included. :) | Jen (38) | ||

If you're running Firefox and Thunderbird at the same time, it uses around twice as much RAM as it does when you have the Mozilla Suites browser and mail clients running. Some people are worried about things like that. |

| 325214 | 2005-02-15 22:41:00 | Brilliant, thank you for all the help! I've been using composer but as I'm pretty new to HTML I don't really have much else to compare it with. Having said that it has helped me start using HTML which is quite a big thing in itself. On further question though, which plug ins / enhancements do people find useful? |
