I've given Thunderbird a try back in v0.5, and again with 0.6. I want to like it, I really do, but there's just something missing in it for me.

Maybe its the fact that you must have seperate inboxes for each account (and yes, I realize rules could fix this, but I shouldn't have to fix it, it should just work).
Maybe its that I haven't had a single spam in years, so the spam filter is worthless to me.
Maybe its that I can't minimize it to the system tray (unless someone has figured out how to do this since).
Maybe its that, being an Outlook user, I like to have my email client be a part of a larger, PIM environment, which keeps synchronized with my PDA.

Maybe its all of those things.

Frankly, the only thing that I found while using it that I liked better than Outlook was the speed at which emails in the preview-pane loaded. But a half-second speed boost is not worth it if I have to drop all the features which I've become accustomed to.
