What Thunderbird needs

While Firefox is a full-blown browser, which does everything you want a browser to do, Thunderbird is not so feature-rich as E-mail client. People apparently expect to get a PIM instead of just an E-mail client; so the trend is towards PIMs like Kontact or Evolution in the Linux world. Once KDE 4 is available on Windows, I'll suggest Kontact as free PIM instead of suggesting Thunderbird+Lighting as today; on Linux, it's my favorite, anyway.
