I finally got fed up with Thunderbird, and have recently switched to |
| 13 |
mutt. Yeah, I know, it's not a clicky-clicky, but so far I haven't |
| 14 |
missed Thunderbird at all. |

Another _huge_ bonus, in my opinion, with mutt is ease of mail reading |
| 17 |
when I'm on strange machines. I can just ssh to one of my boxes and read |
| 18 |
it that way. And as far as backing up the configuration goes, all I need |
| 19 |
to keep track of is a small .muttrc file. |

Just my 2c. |
