Thanks for your information. I already have a webmail interface to this 
account through my hostingb service, in addition to an alumni account 
through my university -- and don't use either of them. No need for 
Google.

I tried Thunderbird for about a month and concluded that I don't like 
it. De gustibus non est disputandum. I'm back to Kmail now, with 
enhanced respect for it.

As for problems of text orientation, including which side Hebrew text 
starts on in TB, how to coax an editor to allow a punctuation mark at 
the end of a paragraph withoug screwing up the last line, etc., I 
recommend Dotan's little article on the subject. Sorry, I don't know 
where he posts it. Thunderbird, by the way, requires an addon in order 
to handle RTL properly.
