One of the advantages of my MacBook Air Mountain Goat migration is that I am being exposed to new applications.
Whenever I need an app, I just grab whatever Ubuntu offers as the default before I go looking for an alternative, if needed.
Of course Thunderbird has been around for a while, but I hadn't tried it out in several years, and had pretty much become a slave to Apple's "Mail" program.
Most impressive is how it archives all my email and folders from the server and stores it in a local database that has blazingly fast contextual search. Beautiful.
T-Bird's spam function is also outstanding. It outperforms all programs I've used before and even lets you train it's filters before you enabled the filing/deleting of spam messages.
