You can transfer all your data and settings to another computer. Splendid.
Pop mail, imap mail, filters, folders, save mails as eml, save attachments and many other nice features.
Aliases for a main email account are set as 'identities' under that account (don't create separate email accounts for aliases - that was a bit confusing at first but oh so clear afterwards).
Everything is well explained in Mozilla Help and you receive regular updates.

Thunderbird has been a solid program for a long time, and with all the add-ons available you can extend the feature set. Lately, though, the layout and design have received major enhancements (part of being tied to Firefox dev no doubt). More than simply about all the themes and personas available, the default font settings, for instance, make everything easier to read (which is what's really important with messaging); spacing is better, too.
Essentially, once installed you don't really have to do much else with the appearance than add a little color (of your choosing). Another somewhat recent improvement is the basic assistance available for setting up new email accounts, which used to be a little "quirky", but now has also become solid. Right now, I'd say that Thunderbird v9 is the best program available for accessing POP andor IMAP accounts. Simply sending and receiving messages has never been easier.

I have been using Tbird for a long time but not for what others mainly use it for.
I wanted to keep printed PDF files of my email, while I could print out individual email from near every client, there was something special with Thunderbird...
When I selected all the emails, Thunderbird would allow me to print EVERY email in succession without mashing them into one and without me having to manually go in and choose each one to print. Admittedly, this was the main reason for me using this aside from the fact it's one of the best email clients out there.
I will say that backing up is easier than ever with live mail, but when it comes to printing email, viewing and handling, Tbird is still my favorite.

I have used them all - or almost - and I confess the first time I tried Thunderbird I did not like it. However after close inspection of features and after using it, allways comparing with others, I have to admit this is a great email client for one - like myself - that do have several mail accounts on different servers. I only use it on an IMAP configuration and it works like a charm as I can not only keep the messages I want on the servers instead of having them on my machine, delete the ones I do not need and even receive a message on a server and forward it from a different one, transfer messages from one server to another, on the fly, etc. I use the portable edition and have it installed on a USB pen, is fast enough and very reliable. The management of messages is top notch, as is the management of the address book, either in groups or by individuals. As a free program, it must be considered the best of them all.
