Many people are using Thunderbird with Window-Eyes 8.3.  There is an app 
which helps with that.  Some folks on the GW-Info listserv report problems, 
but I think they get straightened out eventually.  I am using Windows Live 
Mail with WE 8.3, and living with its quirks.

How well does Thunderbird work with Window-Eyes? I've got a Windows 7 laptop
that I would like to use for email but don't like windows livemail.
