Eternal September is fine, but I find Thunderbird unusable. Since the 
latest batch of spam, I have to close it and open again to read anything

I keep trying others to run under Windoze, but so far no good. Might try 
a Linux offering - I always have a few raspberry Pis hangins around, as 
well as a nice fast Ubuntu server
