Firefox & Thunderbird

Hi group,

I have seen a lot of mails and discussions about people switching to 
Internet Explorer and Outlook Express to Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird.

Can anybody confirm that these alternatives are indeed as good (if not 
better) as the M$ products, and that all settings, mails, cookies, rules 
and so forth are taken over as they are now.  The built-in RSS reader 
seems very interesting.

For fighting spam, I now use K9, but I noticed that Thunderbird also has 
built-in spam control.  Has anybody tried this, and is willing to share 
his/her experience?

If the programs prove to be as good, I'm considering switching not only my 
own, but also both the kids' pc's, provided there's a version in Dutch of 
course.

Thanks in advance.
