T-Bird here

Post #292,803 by scoenye 9/12/07 5:46:01 PM Reply	T-Bird here I did use Evolution for about a year (v1.0.5 ?) until it started crashing under load and became unusable. The only fix was to update to the version in unstable, but that required an upgrade of the entire Gnome kit'n'kaboodle. I dumped it at that point. T-Bird has had issues with the index as a mail file grows large (>600 MB), but that seems to have been sorted. I've always been able to recover from this situation.

It seems they have issues with the trademarking of the terms firefox and thunderbird, and so have renamed it so as to avoid the unfreeness of those terms. Before I fire it up, I'm going to look at copying my thunderbird profile to my home directory, so I can just start up where I left off. I'm currently making enlightenment. I've got all the libraries etc made and installed, and am making the main app now. After that, it's make install and hopefully I'll be able to check it out....

However, the Mozilla group requires that the logo be distributed as well if you want to use the name. Debian refused to budge and renamed the programs instead. Enlightenment is pre-packaged. 'apt-get install enlightenment' will do the trick.
