FYI for Thunderbird users.. if you've used the program for a long time, you know there haven't been that many updates for it.. apparently recently there've been quite a few, mine just tried to update from 3.01 or something to 3.06. It crashed on install and gave me a BSOD and rebooted.. upon rebooting, the program stated it was no longer a valid program and refused to open. All was not lost, don't panic if this happens to you, .. instead, just go to Thunderbird - It and download the full version (3.1.1 as of this post) and install over the top. It kept my settings, emails and address book and I didn't lose anything.. in fact, I regained my toolbars at the top I had been missing!

Hopefully you won't get the bad egg in the basket like I did, but if you do, there's a solution for you.

I had never heard of Thunderbird but it looks cool as hell! Will it integrate with gmail? I'd hate to have to switch email clients again.

I had that happen a while ago. Simple install saved everything. I run Thunderbird and Lightning together and love it. Not sure about your gmail question Dave, but Thunderbird was seamless to convert from Outlook Express.

Yes, it will work with Gmail.

(bear in mind that article is relevant to Thunderbird 2, we're at 3.1.1 now.)

Never heard of Thunderbird? It goes hand-in-hand with Firefox. How can you have never heard of it?
