better then Outlook2003? how does it store emails? in what format? can it import mails from Outlook2003?

folder/rules support? :)

Oh crap, allready 1.0. I'm still with 0.3 :D

somebody here who uses thunderbird and able to answer to few simple questions I asked? ;)

better then outlook : don't know, only had outlook 2000
stores in a file on a lcation you specify
yes
folder + rules = ok

how fast is it to browse through stored messages? is the mbox mail format a lot faster? Outlook in general with its PST is quite slow ones you have over 10.000 messages

... and the .pst consumes A LOT of space also

Try it out (installation and import < 10 min), couple it with the superbe calendar app/extension and you'll have outlook2003 ... only better
i wrote a small howto some time ago ... http://www.madshrimps.be/forums/show...?threadid=6671

I don't use the calendar, but will check out the email reader, thanks!

TB is importing a blue bar.. ?

well.. 410Mb in mbox format <> 440Mb in PST format;

not that much difference in my humble opinion; let's see if searching goes more efficiently
