MAIL.APP IS THE ONE AND ONLY.

Also, Opera mail client. And gmail. Really, there's nothing that beats those three.

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

so far i have tried mail again, but nah.

gnumail - waaaay too basic, but was promising.

eudora - used it before, but i can't remember why i stopped using it.  my only complaint, no keyboard shortcut to go to next message, have to close and open the next one.  woe is me!

GNUMail and Mail.app are related, goofy. I really don't see any glaring issues in Mail.app, but then again, I use it rarely. Most of my mail is Opera and Gmail.

Very nice interface, rich with features, lots and lots of space.

well i read up on my error and it turns out that i get the message:
Quote
Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the File System allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox.

apparently its not a "thunderbird" issue, per se, its an error on the pop-server's side.

so i deleted everything in the account via web access and, just to be safe i backed up my main mail profile and then deleted tb and my other profiles and now i'm about to reinstall tb.

we'll see how it goes.
