Why should I move to Thunderbird?

Hey there is a world of difference between outlook and thunderbird. But i do agree Thunderbird is a powerful appliaction, and since you are not a power user you can definitely switch to thunderbird. There is an option to import pst files into Thund.\n\nThunderbird has the flagging features as well so i guess you would want to migrate.

You can migrate to SQL 2000 or 2005. You can even start using Oracle, as a vamp yahoo user told you to. But the question is, do you really need to migrate?\n\nThe locking/inability problems are solved in the Access Startup Menu, where you can set things like refresh time interval between a change in a record made by a user and the time need to the change to be seen across all access database users. Have you explored all the Access database features?\n\nSpeaking of my experience, I have a small  Access database with about 20 000 entries, and no such problems are happening with me.

Your best bet is to start with Dell's website.\n\nIf you want to move your entire system (XP, programs, data), then you'll want a program such as "Migrate Easy" by Acronis.

I did this just yesterday. When you open the directoey where it downloaded to, change the file type to 'all files' - it should then appear.\n Install it using the extentions option in the tools menu, but it will not actually appear there even after installing. Once installed, then go to themes in tools menu and it should be there, click on it in usual way, as you would with firefox, and use the theme, close thunderbird then restart, it should be there.

I made the switch last week and it's a lot easier to use. I had no problem with the switch and everything moved seamlessly. The beta is better because it has better access control for private blogs, use labels to tag posts and search quickly, and it has more feed options for posts and comments including RSS and support for Feedburner. Best of all it's linked with Google and automatically logs in to the dashboard if you are logged into your Google account.

This really comes down to a question of "What do you want to do?".  A lot of my friends ask me for advice when they are goign to buy a new computer.  That is always the first question that I ask them.  If you're just going to use a computer for Internet, email, and other simple tasks, then you do not need a top-of-the-line system, and can go a few years on what you have.  If you are a hardcore gamer, then you obviously would need more processor, memory, a super graphics cards and sound card, and nice speakers.  Then you would probably want to upgrade your graphics card every year or so to keep up with the games.  The best way to "stay on top" of the ever changing technology landscape is to build a custom system (or have it built), and then everything will be modular.  Make sure that the motherboad will accept processors on up the line, for a CPU upgrade in the future.  This way, when you feel that your computer is too far behind, you can evaluate what you need to upgrade.

I like Bit Tornado just because it is simple and seems to go faster then the others I have tried. Takes a little setting up if you have a firewall. Thats just me though......

I regret to say that you will not get there full explanation: the subject is not so simple.\nWhat do you intend to get from your computer? If - toying, mailing, browsing, XP will be enough for you. Note that last MAC operating systems are BSD-UNIX-based: they are professional OS'es. You can get with them everything you want -- but you will also learn a lot of (very interesting!) things...

Mozilla Mail is part of the Mozilla Suite package. Similar, but not identical; the Thunderbird/Firefox combo and the suite undergo some sort of parallel evolution.

If you're running Thunderbird as your mail program, try compacting your folders.\n\nFile > Compact Folders

If it works well for you, there is no need to upgrade. If you've purchased new, demanding software and video output is slow or distorted, then you may want to upgrade.

Gmail.com from Google will let you use Thunderbird, and it's free.\n\nIn the UK, you can still use Google Mail, it just gives you a googlemail.com address:\nhttps://mail.google.com/mail/help/intl/en-GB/googlemail.html

I'm assuming you want to send Thunderbird to the system tray  when you minimize it? Thunderbird does not have this setting built in. You have to download and install the extension "Minimizetotray."\n\nhttp://minimizetotray.mozdev.org/

You probably will have to use thunderbird. That works the same as outlook express.
