I've used Thunderbird since its inception, many years now.  I love it.
I used Outlook at work before, but now we have made the jump to web 
based mail, which is also an Outlook product(MS Exchange-Office Outlook 
Web Access) and I don't know anyone at my workplace who thinks it is a 
good thing.  The decision came from corporate, and in the opinion of 
many, they just jumped from the frying pan into the fire.  The only 
positive thing I can say is that now, when I log in from home I choose 
the light option due to being on dialup.  It is nice to have that 
option.  What a contrast it is, too, to go from 100 MBps+ at work to 
19.2 KBps- at home.

Ok, here is a dumb question...(this whole POP3 thing confuses me)
Is there a way to dump all my yahoo mail into my Thunderbird so that I 
never have to log in and use the Yahoo pages, just their mail server?
