Tips & Warnings
You can use Thunderbird to access more than one account at a time. This way, you will be able to manage all your e-mail accounts from one location.
Remember that the e-mails are downloaded and saved on your computer. If you have a large e-mail box, this can take up a good chunk of space on your hard drive.
