Why I luv thunderbird email client.
It has sorting!!!! yeah, so now I can sort gmail by subject or sender!!!!!
THB themes/styles many similar to firefox , which is great for me since I like the white text on black background
Array of extensions and apps exists, many firefox ports including cys(complete youtube saver)
Includes search folders similar to outlook.
THB has easy send to harddrive for email archiving, a copy on a external hardrive in eml format with full attachments.
Internal browser,with tabs and theme for web browser, allows to have mail headers on top and browser at the same time
has better printing than a web browser based emails.
It has the ability for addressbook saved to harddrive, easy to export to import to online.
Super simple to import email addy from email content, by hover on any email address to add to addressbook, including embedded in the email, whereas other programs and sites will have only mailto option
Allows to export an entire folder with out selecting 'all' messages.
When using pop, delete goes to holding area, this is good incase you decide not the delete. Permanently delete from server is explicit.
Most of all its FREE, opensource!!!!

Linux on MAC OS
The following is a way to have Linux on mac os without partition and have both desktops running at the same time.
Mint comes with gimp, an office suite, firefox and vlc player to name a few applications already installed.
It also has synaptic package manger in order to install more applications.
The Mint I downloaded uses the xfce window manager, which is clean and quicker then kde or gnome.
Install virtual box to use linux on MAC OS:
- download virtual box http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/virtualbox/4.3.8/VirtualBox-4.3.8-92456-OSX.dmg
---- double click on dmg , and auto uncompress
- download mint from http://virtualboximages.com/LinuxMint+16+XFCE+32+Bit+VirtualBox+VDI+Virtual+Computer
---- uncompress the rar file
Execute
---- double click on vbox file , where file name starts linuxmint....
Install more apps, using the 'software manager'.
-xfig is neat , it's great for flowcharts, and has old-school clipart.
-nano text editor I prefer over vi/vim. It's similar to ed/edit dos application
-tux paint is a quick way to make graphics-
-To have a taskbar, install docky
-kstars for sun, moon and other planets
To change the theme, settings->appearance. I like dusk
Change the passwords at a terminal:
The password for adminuser is adminuser
The password for root is adminuser
