I not lost any yet and have over 10,000 emails stotred in Thunderbird.

Just incase anything bad happens though I regulay backup the Thunderbird folder that stores mail and preferences.

I'm a Chartered Member at DonationCoder.com, and they have a 50% discount for members there - so it's not a big deal to pay for it.

I have to use Outlook at work (but I don't). It's the worst f**king piece of sh*t ever written. I don't understand why anti-virus programs don't identify it as malware.


It takes far too long to read a message in Outlook - anything above 0.5 seconds is nuts. It often takes me more than 20 seconds to load & display 1 email.

And the *.msg format? WTF??? It's a useless piece of junk. Email should be *.eml and nothing else.

There's absolutely no way in Hell that I could possibly express how much I absolutely loathe that program.



Anyways, Merry Christmas, and if anyone gives you an Outlook license, stab them in the face because they're evil!
