Default Birds or Mozilla?


I've been using Firebird, but now wish to add Thunderbird. Is there any
advantage in using this combination? Or should I just opt for the latest
Mozilla? Thanks.

i use Tbird and Firebird, and I like them alot better than standard
Mozilla. It is more customizable, and has a bit better interface thats
more to my liking.

I don't see any particular advantage except, from what I hear, Mozilla
is a developmental platform and that eventually the survivor will be
Firebird/Thunderbird. Mozilla still has a composer in its suite so if
you like to make your own web pages it's handy. Also, since Mozilla
is a suite, when you open it up the mail function also opens, with
Firebird/Thunderbird I have to open both separately. There are other
bells and whistles in Mozilla that aren't in the other two which may
or may not be needed by you. Both Mozilla and FBird/TBird will work
side by side in your computer so why not try both and see what suits
your fancy. I use both.

Makes sense. Will do. I was worried there would be "preferences" clashes.
Cheers, A

I had no problem with the address book other than to have to do an
"export"/"import" from Moz to TBird. That information will be
automatically installed in separate folders in "Windows\Application
Data" folder in "Windows". It's all painless and non-destructive.

I use "send page" and "send link" often but cannot find that function in
Firebird. Is it there somewhere that I do not see?.
