There have been some very annoying quirks: There have been occaisions 
where, for some reason, it doesn't realize that it has already fetched a 
shit-load of mail from the past, and redownloads it again. Maybe several 
times.

A little more rare: I often leave my Thunderbird going for a couple 
weeks, without shutting it down. Every once in a while, it silently 
stops fetching my mail, and I don't realize that I'm not receiving 
things that have been sent to me.

There's also the dumbed-down configuration.

One thing that is nice, though, is that I can configure it to share the 
same mailboxes between Windows and Linux.

Perhaps I will try Kmail next, but I think I may go back to mutt as my 
main e-mail client: I never had any problems with it; it always did what 
I wanted. It'll be a little clunky to use it in reading HTML messages, 
but oh well.
