hold on right fucking there. i didnt suggest or COMPARE POPPEEPER to
thunderbird other than saying that it works with multiple accounts and
web email providers.
i said i use what works for me. this is one email client that i use for
receiving and sending email via pop/imap/webmail when i need to do it fast.
it's simple yes, but it works. it's not a resource hog and it's not an
outlook clone.
BTW i didnt suggest you use google to check on poppeeper, i suggested
that you use google if you sooooooOOOOOO had to find an email client
that worked on every os.

here we go again attacking poppeeper.
i dont like threaded discussion grouping. i use that for work but i dont
need it at home. btw ppeeper is just a font end for webmail, you can
still view gmail's discussion grouping though it.
dumbed down msg writer? you like sending html email? html is fucking
annoying and for noobs.
regarding this one email client i use i think you are confusing
streamlined functionality with dumbing down.
again, i think you are misunderstanding something. i didnt say that what
i use is what you should use to replace thunderbird; i said what i use
and what works for me.
now, thunderbird on the other hand is nothing more than an outlook clone.
i feel it patronizes its users. one thing i dont like is how you cant
search newsgroups for text. maybe i'm doing something wrong but it
doesnt look like someone could screw this up. i dont like how some
settings are tucked away like outlook does. i dont like how it assumes
some things that it shouldnt.
i guess we'll have to agree to disagree, but a bloated pos email client
isnt for everyone. i'm using it right now and i hate it.
