Outlook, absolutely - netscape, sure... but it certainly is *not* 
justified to just lump TBird in with Outlook like that.

I'm not saying TBird is perfect - far from it, it has some things that 
really bug me - but the *only* IMAP specific problem we have seen in our 
office of 60+ users of Thunderbird - been using it since 0.9, IMAP only 
access - is the annoying problem of 'Save to Sent' failing, but it 
is/was only a very occasional issue, and simply restarting Thunderbird 
fixes it (I haven't seen that or had any complaints about that in quite 
some time).

I've actually been looking forward to the Windows Port of KDE just to 
try out kde-pim - yes I still use Windows for my primary workstation... 
I'm not a dev, and it 'just works' for me, but my next OS 'upgrade' will 
definitely be a *nix box - probably PC-BSD...
