As a heavy Thunderbird 2.0 user version 3.0 is such a disappointment. They changed things that didn't need changing and added features I have no use for. Even new features like tabs were done half assed considering not every window can be put in a tab, i.e address book, compose e-mail, etc. The default theme is barely complete. I don't need anything fancy but even the old Qute theme blows it away esthetically and is more functional. I'd probably have to spend days hacking up a custom userChrome.css fixing all the UI nastiness. Anyway I could write a book on everything I didn't like about it so I'll end it here. I can't believe I'm going to say this but I can see myself switching to Outlook 2010 before I'd even consider Thunderbird 3.0 again.
