On a Windows Vista laptop, we set up Thunderbird only to read messages from a rarely used, 24-month-old Gmail account that process was nearly instantaneous. We had to consult online help to figure out how to get new messages to populate the in-box. It imported our dozens of in-box folders, but those and the in-box were empty. On one Windows XP SP2 PC, we imported all of our corporate work e-mail settings from an Outlook account we'd been using for 42 months. Although Windows users can pay for Outlook or opt for the Microsoft's smaller, free Windows Live Mail, (which succeeded Outlook Express), we think Thunderbird is a highly attractive alternative for these users.Äownloading the 6.4MB Thunderbird 2 for Windows took several quick minutes in our tests. Mac users, however, are likely to use Apple's Mail, whose fans insist is faster. The answer for open-source aficionados, especially those who use Linux, is likely yes.
