Eh ...
As with me, I'm so amazingly content with Eudora (which is free nowadays), that I'm pretty ambivalent towards Thunderbird. I'd prefer to see Phoenix acquire a more complete array of Preference options before I'd want a new mail client.
However, I will be one of the first to give Thunderbird a go. I'm getting Pegasus now for a trial run (hadn't heard of it till now)
(incidentally, kudos to Dave for a nice post. People who are getting cool, free software from the work of others shouldn't complain too much)

That's the point though. To have a Mozilla backend which doesn't have any browser, mail, IRC etc.-related stuff in it, so that you can run everything off of the same backend code. Currently Mozilla's one monolithic suite where it's all or nothing. Having it as separate apps sharing XUL and Gecko runtimes mean you can have as little or as much as you want, and any new apps built using Mozilla can also tie into the same backend.

Yeah, I tried Pegasus and eudora, but pegasus was too difficult for me to figure out (don't think I know nothing about computers- did you write a program when you were 7?" and eudora will use IE to display HTML mail and I need something that dosen't work with klez

Eudora, in the Viewing Mail option under tools->settings, you can enable/disable Microsoft's mail viewer in favor of Eudora's built-in viewer, as well as disable executables in HTML mail and lots of other goodies.

You can choose to run it in "light" mode with no ads. The ads are in a tiny window in the bottom left and, I've found, do little to detract from its use. However, I'm a Eudora fan from 5+ years back, so I actually paid for it (you get full features with no ads then). I say download it, try it in light mode, switch to ad mode to see what you're missing and if you want those features. If I recall, Eudora is unable to gather any of your actual e-mail info in ad mode and send it off. And no popups, of course.

Depends on what you want
See, functionality is a relative term. I went 3.5 years using "light" Eudora and never saw ads, because it was all I ever needed. I upgraded because I liked the product, but, for the life of me, I can't think of one "advanced" feature I've ever used that I didn't have access to before.
So, as I said, it's worth a go. You install it, select "light" at install, and you'll never see an ad ever. See if its enough for you.
I've been playing with Pegasus all day. I enjoy it. Not looking like a Eudora replacement for me, per se, but it's neat.

Flight of the phoenix
Somewhere in one of these forums I read that there is a freeware win32 email client called Phoenix.
Don't remember where the post was or what the URL was to d/l the pgm.
