Maybe he should have used "sane"
instead of "modern." My views on gmail are
mostly unprintable, so I'll just leave it at that.
For me the killer features of Gmail are:
1. Searching the entire mail bucket.
2. One page per thread. So stupid mailing list threads are *one* skimmable page.
Everything else sucks. So I want the above in Thunderbird and I'll go
back to it.
I'm using Icedove 1.5.0 (Debian's rebranded Thunderbird) and it has had 1. for
a while, and for 2. you don't get one page per thread, but it can display any
message folder in a threaded view, and whole threads are sorted by the time the
last message in that thread was received. So I can click on my wikien-l folder
and scroll up a few pages to review threads with newly received messages.
