Online isn't always better. Mozilla Thunderbird trumps WebMail

With me loving any online solution for the platform agnosticism this article does a decent job of reminidng me of the benefits of decent desktop client based solution.

As well as wetting my apitite for the new Thunderbird. I tried the current release some months ago and wasn't really taken with it. I occasionally consider moving all my accounts to GMail with a massive forwarding session. This is what my oldman does and he swears by it, even above using mail.app on his mac.
