Hmmm ..
I'm a long time Thunderbird user who thought it might be time to move to a web based approach for e-mail. My first take on WLM leaves a real bad taste and makes me wonder if it's a good move, reinforced by what I read here.
BTW, there is a freeware utility that can be used to move local data into TBird, I did this earlier this year pulling old messages from Outlook Express and Outlook. I was searching around for it tonite but can't seem to locate, if I find I will post here.
