Switched from Explorer / Outlook to Firefox/Thunderbird and havent looked back . Both are excellent pieces of kit . Firefox Extensions are brilliant they could some of my rountine internet activites from Minutes to seconds.

There an extension on Firefox for Gmail Notification . I'll find the link fo ryou.

Is it hard to configure a Gmail account with Thunderbird

Can you set Thunderbird to check for new messages every minute, if so, how?

You forgot stability

The only thing I missed after switching from Outlook to Thunderbird was the calendar - then I found this

Now I just need some integrated post-its and I'm laughing...

You also forgot a decent newsreader, built in spam filtering, very straightforward message filtering, and non-convoluted, easy-to-configure settings.

Is there any news group around free ones, usenet is charging

Blue httpMail is what you want. It's fairly easy to set up and you can leave it running as a service. Then you don't have to worry about it.
