Well, so this is it: After so many years of working with Outlook, now 
that I have this brand new computer, I ultimately decided to bid 
farewell to that mail client, and give Thunderbird a try - actually 
mainly because that stupid Outlook doesn't have a built-in newsreader, 
and I'm getting kind of annoyed with that news.povray.org web interface.

Turned out that migrating my old e-mails archive and address book wasn't 
as straightforward as I had hoped (how stupid is this: You can't import 
from Outlook .pst files unless Outlook is installed); fortunately, my 
old computer's still alive and kicking, so I just installed TB there as 
well to import, and followed the instructions I found somewhere on how 
to "transplant" a TB profile. Seems to have worked pretty well at first 
glance - I hope the second glance will confirm this.

So here we go - first newsgroup posting test with T'bird...

(Next thing on the agenda: Replace IE with Firefox...?)
