1309331 2012-10-30 03:26:00 What's with the hostility?

It is usually brought on by a feeling of insecurity of one own position.

Best ignored.

1309332 2012-10-31 01:21:00 I use TrulyMail and LOVE it. All the features I had to mess around with Thunderbird to get in there are already built into TrulyMail. SamJ (16931)

I would love to know what those features are as the only things I have added to Thunderbird are Lightening and the NZ dictionary.

For example, being able to see the icons of the apps associated with attachments, auto text, encryption, recording voice and sending as an email. There are a few others but this will give you an idea.

Honestly, I never liked Thunderbird's idea of giving something stripped down and letting people add what they want. I don't like adding things especially when they might not work with newer versions. That said, I stopped using TB about 2 years ago so it might have changed since then.

Apart from not being sure as to where you want the auto text function to work TB does all that.
One of the reasons FF is so popular is because of the add-ons.

I do like Firefox - it's my browser of choice. My comments were limited to Thunderbird.

By the way, when did Thunderbird add built-in encryption? That is great! Finally the masses can have some privacy.

I find it strange that you are Ok with FF having add-ons but not TB.
TB has had encryption for many a year. Account Settings/Security/encryption

Not encrypting the pipe but encrypting the message contents (had to use Enigmail before). Perhaps I should have been clearer.

(By the way, I don't use add-ons with Firefox)

1309339 2012-10-31 04:46:00 Thunderbird on desktop and laptop, k9 mail on phone and rubbish apple mail at work.

Have 9 addresses on pc and lappy, 5 on phone and 3 at work and everything ticks along happy enough. Setting up smtp servers on my phone was a mission though until I found out you can use gmails
