Comments from those who selected Thunderbird as
one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008
- "Mozilla free
e-mail program - light and easy to use, manages all my
email accounts"
Debora Gallo
- "Mozilla's open source email application
helps me share ideas with friends and colleagues"
Guy Boulet
- "Email may be dead, but my
email client continues to be a place of constant
activity. Most of our corporate communications come by
email, as do the various mailings lists I subscribe to,
comments and enquiries from people around the world, and
more. Email remains my primary communications tool
precisely because it is asynchronous - I prefer to
send and receive messages on my own schedule."
Stephen
Downes
- "A solid e-mail program
that I've never had any problems with. Like Firefox, it has a ton of
great add-ons."

- "Open Source browser and e-mail
client from Mozilla - both
with a growing range
of add-ons"
Seb Schmoller
- "This is a simple e-mail client that
focuses on e-mail, though you can use it as a desktop RSS
feed reader as well.
Virtually virus-free
and easy on memory.
Like FireFox
you can easily
change the look."
Harold Jarche
- "I have 8 different email accounts
and Thunderbird makes it easy to manage them all."
Guy Boulet
- "for ease of use –
does what it says on the tin"
Lisa
Valentine
- "it's very stable and have lots of
useful modules and plugins"
Paulo Gingao
- "My mail reader. Here is where I read
several mail accounts I use. I also have some webmails (Squirrel Mail, Gmail,
Yahoo...) but this is the most powerful and fastest
tool for me to use my official mail addresses."
