Thunderbird or Mail

[Sdahe]

I've been using thunderbird for a long time but since I change to Mac, my friends keep telling me to change to mail... my question base on your experience...

Is it better mail than thunderbird?

If I decide to change to mail... can I import all my emails to mail... from thunderbird?


Thanks guys

I love mail. It handles my bloated mail box perfectly. I use imap on multiple computers so they all stay synced. Don't know about importing from Thunderbird because I've been satisfied with Mail for years.

same here originally. I used thunderbird b\c its what i had used before on pc and stuck with it. Honestly after using both..mail is the best e-mail program i have ever used. Give it a try.

Idk..i made the mailboxes again by scratch so idk if you can import..but honestly its pretty easy to set up. much easier than thunderbird btw..

That's what happened to me... I came from using thunderbird for a long time and I feel stuck with it. I will give it a try

and what about FireFox and Safari?... which one works best for you?

I've used Thunderbird since it came out (Windows, Linux, and (initially) OS X). Now, I use Mail: it's simpler but works very well, IMHO. For a long time, I've copied important e-mails to my correspondence folders (for security); Mail saves in RTF, which suits me much better than Thunderbird's EML format.

I've tried Safari numerous times. It's fast and, apart from the occasional website that uses non-standard code, it works well. Unfortunately, the add-blocking facilities available are not nearly as good as on Firefox; so, I use Fx2 as my default browser and will probably move to Fx3 when it becomes available (it's in beta now & garnering good reports).

HTH

I used thunderbird for a hot second, but then quickly switched back to Mail. I like to give every piece of software a try, but found that Mail suited me best. It also interacted with the majority of Mac applications better than Mail did.

I like to download Thunderbird/Firefox and have them as backups just in case. The real front-runners for me are Safari and Mail though.

all the way!
