[QUOTE="pmnapier, post: 99228"] Thanks to both of you for your responses. My mac can't even be described as having speed anymore (Pismo PowerBook, 400MHz). I only briefly thought it relevant because of the very, very, good speed of Thunderbird. But perhaps there is something about Mail that needs the additional speed, although I haven't seen anything special about it. I haven't found anything Mail does that Thunderbird doesn't, BUT, I'm not exactly a power user. My mail needs are minimal in terms of organization, searching, etc. So perhaps there are things Mail does that I don't recognize/need which requires a more updated system. BTW, I've been using Thunderbird for about 3 weeks now. Very solid, and VERY fast, but some quirks. I can't get iPhoto to select it for directly mailing photos (I started a thread on this recently but it ran out of steam rather quickly) and when receiving photos, Thunderbird displays them too large/wide (requiring horizontal scroll bars). Mail displays them to fit the horizontal size of the mail window, which makes viewing within the program a lot easier. But this is a bit off thread so if you guys have any ideas on this perhaps we should move over to "E-mailing from iPhoto" last posted to by myself on April 1. Don't want to get slapped for starting a cross-post!! Thanks [/QUOTE]
