Thunderbird - An Amazing email client

• A few things that I like about TB:
• Effective inbuilt spam manager.
• Messages can be managed as they arrive.
• Customizable folder options.
• Cross platform (If you are dual-booting Windows and Linux your emails will look the same).
• Fast searching.
• Extensions to ease tasks.
•  Change the path of the storage folder:
• Why change?:
• Might be easier during reinstalling the OS.
• Your emails will look the same while dual booting.
• You know exactly where your emails are stored. :-)
•  How to:
1. Go to Tools->Account settings.
2. Navigate to Local folders.
3. Change the local directory..

         Note: This is the location where your emails are stored.

• Recommendation: Don't use the OS partition as the storage folder. Use another partition instead. You don't have to worry about losing your emails when/if you reinstall the OS.
• Where are profiles stored?:
1. Navigate to "Server Settings" under the current account.
2. The profile storage path can be found under the "Local directory" section.

Note: Outlook express also lets you change the storage folder (Tools->Options->Maintenance tab->"Store folder" button).
