I'm having terrible luck with Thunderbird (under Linux) in recent 
months. It seems v5.0 is no exception.

[Admittedly, Thunderbird has given me good service for years]

eg: Yesterday, I switch desktop environments just to check something 
out... a simply logged out of JWM (my default window manager), changed 
GDM to use Razor (or Cinnamon) as my desktop environment for my next 
login... I then logged into my account, an ran Thunderbird... Suddenly 
ALL my last read and last downloaded message in various newsgroup 
accounts are reset. Everything is marked as unread, and suddenly nothing 
has been downloaded for offline reading/searching (previous downloaded 
messages are suddenly lost). I fixed it by downloading all messages 
again, and marked everything as read. Switch back to JWM, and suddenly 
the exact same thing happens!!!!  WTF!!

Later versions of Thunderbird didn't allow me to save attachments. I had 
to double click attachments to open them in whatever program, and then 
save them using that program. Telling Thunderbird to "Save to file" 
didn't raise any errors, but also didn't save anything. :-(

It's things like this that drive me to implementing my own applications. 
I've done this in the past, and it seems an Email/News client will 
follow shortly.
