Thunderbird handled the same load with zero load issues. Mail was pretty
good at searching for things, Thunderbird is at least as good, if not
better. I find Thunderbirds search/filter options easier to quick find
things I know I have. Mail was good for keywords, and not for
constraining things by specific headers or other metadata.
My experience with Thunderbird on Mac and Windows differs greatly from yours. For me it’s the slowest and the least reliable email client (and saying that in comparison to Microsoft is a lot!).
Any smartcard middleware that supports the Mozilla NSS module system
should work.
Yeah, it “should”. In my experience, “any smartcard middleware” works with Thunderbird for sign/verify/encrypt, but NOT decrypt. Which completely disqualifies it for my use cases (I don’t need to receive emails addressed to me that I cannot decrypt <g>).
That’s been tested and failed on Windows and Mac, with three different middleware packages (one of which is OpenSC, and I’ve complete control over the source ( ). Apple Mail does it, sorta, grunting and bucking (there are a few Apple RADAR cases opened right now). Outlook (now) does it, no sweat.
