[dba-Tech] Thunderbird

Hi Susan,
You can run TB and OL together on the same machine - they'll both initially
prompt you to make them the default mail application. Pick one and tell it
not to ask you anymore and that will be done with.

IIRC you can import settings from outlook to Thunderbird when initially
setting it up.

I agree that RSS seems to belong more with email than a browser, same with
IM. Yahoo, at least the AT&T's Yahoo service, has integrated email, RSS and
IM into one interface. Along with allowing IM with MSN Messenger service (or
whatever MS is calling it these days) it has become quite a nice package.

Also it has a dark screen "skin" so finally I don't have to have a bright UI
for my web based things!

I'm thinking about downloading Thunderbird. I might get a few articles out
of it and it offers RSS reader and I'd like that for sure. Why use a
separate product if you don't have to. Although I write about Outlook a lot,
I don't really like using it for myself, so I'd like to give Thunderbird a
try. 

Can I install Thunderbird and Outlook on the same system without any
trouble? I would think this is yes, but thought I'd ask. 

Does anyone know if if Outlook 2007 supports RSS? I know that IE 7 does, but
it makes more sense to have it in the email client. In IE, you're still
browsing.
