ViolentGreen 0 Posted June 28, 2003 I have been meaning to try it. I don't know if I will switch over to it or not. I have 4-5 years of emails archived on my hard drive using outlook. Share this post Link to post
ShadowSystems 0 Posted August 24, 2006 Thunderbird is supposed to be more secure than Outlook / Outlook Express. I don't know if that's true or not, because if you know how to properly secure O/OE (and Windows in general) then there really isn't any worries. Set O/OE to use the Trusted (restrictive) access, not to show HTML (text only), and not to allow execution of attachments. Someone sends me a "screensaver" with an EXE extension? That's nice - I can save it to my HD or ignore it, since OE won't download the attachment until I tell it to. Someone sends a "Web bug" 1 pixel tracker in an HTML formatted email? That's nice - too bad I don't USE HTML email & that web bug never loaded, much less reported back to its master. Someone sends the latest VB virus? (Snickers) Too bad I have ALL scripts (VB, WSH, JS) set to open with Notepad instead. Your virus didn't do anything but display in my clipboard. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. =)P Share this post Link to post
Cormac 0 Posted August 25, 2006 DO you realise you resurected a thread that is over 3 years old and had died? Share this post Link to post
Sampson 0 Posted August 25, 2006 Cormac, I sent him a PM to quit resurrecting the dead; lets hope he reads it. Share this post Link to post
