I've used the skin and it was something of an improvement, but of course it's really just making the experience look nicer without modifying behavior. What I would hope for would be something like Camino which implements the full set of Thunderbird features and options but with a native Cocoa UI. But I have to believe that significant improvements could be made in the XPToolkit so that Mac UIs look like modern Mac UIs (not carbon apps from years ago). @ToPPi: thanks.

If it used Address Book, I'd be running it today. ('sync' with address book would not count. Anything less than native use is not useful.)

It´s the best mail app for PCs and has GoogleDesktop integration....it could also be the successor to Apple Mai (especially since it has become more and more ugly)...but not without Spotlight.

They also need to improve the search algorithm - I find it unreliable. I hope they change the icon – it’s really ugly!! They also need to improve the search algorithm – I find it unreliable.
