Well it's not great, though it may be one of the best, but....

On that aspect thou I really must disagree.

First off it does know IMAP well enough to do a heck of a log more IMAP
specific things than many/most other so-called IMAP clients I've used.

Second it really doesn't have to download all headers -- just the new
ones  :-)

I used Thunderbird to sort and read all my mail over a 33kbps modem last
summer while on vacation and it wasn't very painful at all, considering
it was a slow dial-up connection.

The report about Thunderbird on Windoze not using the squat index is
interesting though....
