I know the feeling well. Unfortunately, it seems it is often these weird little annoyances that prove almost impossible to resolve. I've got a client who has had a problem since July where Acronis 2012 randomly stops generating logs for a day or two, then starts creating log files again. Since I'm pretty OCD, I burned a lot of time with Acronis support, without ever getting a resolution At the end, all I had to show for it was wasted hours and a very high level of frustration. You'd think I should know better by now!

Let's face it, email clients and protocols weren't originally designed for the demands users place on them today. Outlook Express, with it's low limits on folder size and it's lack of junk filters, etc. is pretty much the poster child for dysfunctional email clients. But Outlook isn't really a prize either. Specifically, I've had poor success importing contacts lists from other software into Outlook (no matter if they were CSV files or other formats) and have them look like they did in the original software. Considering how proud MS is of Outlook, it just seems it should work a lot better than it does.

Well it still leaves Domino/Notes in the dust... After having to deal with them for years, going to a MS environment was a blessing....

I can share Kodiak's pain....not with OE though, but with transferring everything (messages/folders/contacts) from old Netscape 7.2 email to Windows Live Mail. It worked after several tries and experimenting with different email import programs. Only using TB to import/convert Netscape did I get a chance to import that to Windows Live Mail in several steps. Never again am I going to touch anything Netscape related.

I believe you are safe considering it was discontinued long ago...

Me too. BTW, shouldn't your "there" be either a "they are" or "they're"? (Couldn't resist).

Well, that's true enough. If you're in need of a good laugh, check out David Gewirtz blog about Notes, and the commentary.

One of my favorite add ons for Thunderbird is Import/Export Tools. It requires some expertise to use (you need to know where any files you want to import are stored, or be able to find them), but it works very well.
All the same, like it or not, webmail is going to replace email clients in the near future for most users, especially with the growth in mobile devices. For corporate users internal needs, Exchange, often in conjunction with Sharepoint, is already a clear winner.
