I've been using Mozilla Firebird since it was called Phoenix, and I've
had very little trouble with it in all that time.  There are a few
things here and there that are a bit annoying but overall it's quite
good.  I'll take it over MSIE any day.

I also use Thunderbird now (have been for about a month) and I like it
in almost all respects.  My one minor complaint about thunderbnird is
that with full headers turned on, there is no ability to scroll so that
you can see all of a really big header.

As to spam filtering, I haven't tried out the Thunderbird filtering, but
I do use POPFile.  (popfile.sourceforge.net)
It filters everything so well that I haven't bothered with any other
filters.  With that and privoxy (www.privoxy.org) the majority of web
filth never reaches me.
