Anyone using Mozilla Thnuderbird 2 as their email client?

[Shake&Bake]

I see that I can setup Thunderbird to access my Gmail account. Thing is (and excuse my noobness ) If I make a new account for my Gmail - Does it overwrite my current Cybersmart acc or can you "jump" between the two?

I use my Gmail for web-based stuff so only check it occasionally. Don't really want it as my "master" account.

What it boils down to is - I don't wanna create an account using my Gmail settings and then only be able to access Gmail and then have to mission in hindsight to revert back to my old settings.

Any help on this one please?

You can install many copies of this proggie( for each gmail account) without messing up any settings on each app you install

You can have multiple accounts on thunderbird just like Outlook express,
I have been using Thunderbird for along time already, about the same time i switched to firefox, its way better than outlook express. but doesn't have the same capabilites as Outlook (not that i need those features anyway, all i want is to check my mail)

to add calendar functionality to thunderbird, give lightning a try

I hate Outlook Express

I use both OE and TB portable. I have found that TB has a coding problem with some emails and the message gets garbled

I've used TB for a few years now, and I'm very happy with it. Especially the iCal support is very helpful.
