Is there any reason you can't simply install it and try it? Only 
thing I can think of that might be a problem is assigning a default 
mail program. Otherwise, you should be able to run both side by side 
to see which works best for you. ...At least, it seems that way to me.

I've had very few issues with Thunderbird. I have folders with 
thousands of items in this particular account with no performance 
drags. IBM laptop right now, 900Mhz, 500KB, 20GB drive with 5.55GB 
free. On my desktop at home, much bigger/faster, there are zero issues.
