3. keeping backup on several email services
4. able to read all emails no matter what device or computer without having to fight the settings to keep them on the server after downloading

I think you are both a bit wrong here.

1. Thunderbird only copies email records from the server to a computer. If you run several computers with Thunderbird then all rour emails will be on all computers and the server at the same time.
I just double-checked this with gmail, and although they are presented differently, they are in both places at the same time.

2. If the computer crashes. When that computer is set up again (or replaced).
Open Thunderbird > Add the email addresses,
and get on with something else while Thunderbird copies all the emails from the servers.

3. The backup is in the server.

4. You can still do that through Thunderbird and Firefox.

Although I am trying out Renegade600 advice. I am leaving Thunderbird running until I decide which I prefer.

I do enjoy having my email account open, while at the same time playing/working on the internet.

I have a bad black-cross clicking-habit in Firefox and sometimes click off the wrong one, and have to re-open it.

Using Thunderbird, I have email and internet on different workspaces.

How do you reach your conclusions?

I have been using Thunderbird since the first week of it being ever released, and guess what Sherlock, before that I used Outlook Express for several years.

Sladden beat me to the conclusions of emails being stored on computers.

Here's the two main reasons for my using Thunderbird.....

1. No adverts to be seen.

2. Being able to have ALL my email accounts within one program.

So, what do you use that's so much better?

Now, now, younge man. Please be polite, and stick with the subject.
I only drink with men.
I am still looking for a way to make the 'sending to the sent folder work quicker.

Yes I have noticed that Linux seems to have died off.
I have assumed that may be because the popular linux have improved in stability better than windows.
Or maybe too many people use tablets at home and the bosses computer at work.

It is nice to see that you are still around though. Hopefully still taking the rough with the smooth.

I noticed that one of your hobbies is "Picking on AnneMarie"
You name wouldn't be Holgie would it?

[craisin]

yeah yeah and to be confident in giving a Mod a hard time it would pay to be a Mod

[sladden]

That takes me back. A 60's Mod eh?

I am still trying the other way as well, but I re-installed Thunderbird and it is working with speed again.
So it is fixed.
But I would still like to know what caused it to happen in the first place.
That way it won't (?) happen again.

Mod times....
Wages 25 pound a week ($50)
Petrol 2 shillings a gallon ($0-20)
A Motorbike = 6 months wages.
A Car = 1 years wages.
A block of land. 1 hour radius from Sydney = 1 years wages.
And """Unlimited""" speed limits on the country roads.
