I was wondering why I had popups this weekend. Grrrr.

I've been using Eudora on my PC for years, but have been frustrated at how slow it is to filter messages, especially since I installed spamnix a while back. It seems to be very CPU heavy -- If I'm using iTunes, the music always stops when Eudora checks mail. I was thinking of trying out Thunderbird. Has anyone tried the latest versions of both? Opinions?

I fucking *love* Thunderbird. It isn't that quick when searching my IMAP inbox, but I think I might have 3000 messages in there.
I like its search capabilities and the filters are great. I recommend Thunderbird.

I'm using Thunderbird Jon. It's not tasking my system at all. I have an obscene number of email accounts.
I used to get virus warning often on my old outlook setup, and I don't get them anymore so it apparently filters that well enough. It catches a good deal of junk, but there are 3 daily spam messages that I can't block for anything. Grrr. One day I will finally delete old accounts that only get junk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do you have a spam filter integrated with it LeN?

ita, no spam filter. Thunderbird has its own I think. It flags some stuff as spam and then you click on a menu item "delete messages flagged as spam" and out they go. It doesn't catch everything, but admittedly, my 2 accts are not spam heavy.

I have some problems with Eudora (though it's not eating my cycles). However I get so much freaking spam to my main account, and Spamnix/Eudora handles it so well that I may be locked in forever.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I like Thunderbird, too. I've been using it at work, and it does a great job of filtering spam.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes you just gotta kill an email account and get a new one. If not, then I hear that when Jesus comes back He might get rid of spam....
eta: Thumbs up from me for Thunderbird - although I get little spam these days.

But it's ita@myfirstandprimarydomain.com. I'm definitely not changing the username, and ... it may take counselling for me to change to one of my other domains.
There was one e-mail program I used that let you send user-not-found bounce messages. Does anyone know if a) any spam filters will do that and b) spammers actually ever reduce the names on their list?
