Well, thank you all for the very prompt and interesting emails re Thunderbird. I was clearly wrong to think that being moved to “stable” state was the same as left to disappear into the sunset (like many other programs) and will continue to use it. In the meantime, I will have a look at some of the alternative suggestions.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions etc. Bob

Since the demise of my old XP machine last year I have been using Thunderbird without any problems. I have been able to set it up almost as a clone to OE, so that made the change over pretty easy. After reading Susan Bradley’s comment in issue 348 on the dropping of future updates to the program, I am a little disapointed and was wondering if there is a recommended email server which can run like OE or Thunderbird ie a look alike – I quite possitivley do not want to use MS Mail or any cloud based system. Help please.
