Review: Thunderbird’s No Gmail
Nearly two years after I adopted a Web-based Gmail account for personal e-mail, the software I ditched, Mozilla's Thunderbird, is trying to lure me back. The latest version of the free software has the two Gmail features I like most: The ability to add multiple descriptive tags to messages and to "star" the important ones. Thunderbird 2 is an improvement over its predecessor; however, Thunderbird is no Gmail. Although I had long found Web mail clunky and less versatile than software residing on the computer desktop, Google changed all that.
