If you are used to the older Mozilla suite, you should consider upgrading to Thunderbird.
Thunderbird includes features for:
 Sending, receiving, reading, and managing e-mail
 Managing multiple mail and newsgroup accounts
 Composing HTML e-mail messages
 Controlling junk e-mail
 Message encryption and signing
Thunderbird runs on Windows as well as Linux, so you can convert your organization to
Thunderbird now, and then later migrate to Linux.
On most Linux systems, either Thunderbird or Evolution will be the primary e-mail client for your
Linux distribution. You can launch the e-mail application from the desktop from a menu such as
Internet. For example, in Fedora, you run an e-mail client from the Applications???Internet menu.
Fedora defaults to Evolution as the primary e-mail client, so Evolution is listed simply as Email on
the Applications???Internet menu. Thunderbird is listed as Thunderbird Email.
When you launch Thunderbird for the first time, the application will offer to import your e-mail
folders from another application, which is really, really handy, especially if you use a POP3 e-mail
server, as described previously.
The first time you launch Thunderbird, you will see a window like that in Figure 22-1.
In Figure 22-1, Thunderbird detected no other compatible e-mail applications to import data from.
