I have had some serious stability problems with Thunderbird 3, which may
or may not be actually a problem with the new Thunderbird.
However, after getting it all "under my personal preferences" with a few
extra add-ons, I really like the new version.
I don't like the default look at all, but it is not difficult to find
add-ons to change it.
But one thing I just noticed, I cron job some rather big outputs.
Thunderbird 2 really choked on these emails. This version handles them
really nice, no delays at all reading them and scrolling through them.
At this point, I think the stability problems are either window manager
or hardware related.
Thanks
