Re: Thunderbird And Pop3

[Booth Martin <booth@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use pair.com for my e-mail and web site.  Its like.. $17/quarter, plus 
 the fee to register my own domain.  Probably its vanity, but for less 
than $100/year I have my own web site, my own domain, and off-site 
storage of files I may want to share.  I use pop3 and smtp, and 
sometimes the webmail function.

I just started using Thunderbird this week and I am impressed with its 
filtering and ease of use.

One question I am curious about though is this:  If a site had Apple 
users, Windows users, and Linux users, and the site specified 
Thunderbird, would the training issues and look & feel be the same 
throughout the enterprise?
