While I stand by that for the Mac OS X version, I've been using beta 2 under Vista and it's still quite buggy. - -Issues I've noticed include freezing while trying to move messages via drag and drop and a weird screen flicker that seems to happen randomly. The drag and drop issue appears to be related to IMAP since it doesn't happen when I log in to a POP account. - -The screen flicker is more a more drastic problem and highly annoying. Of course I should note that my Vista install is on Macbook with possibly outdated hardware drivers -- in other words, it may not be Thunderbird's fault. Still, no other app has caused the screen to dim out, go completely black and then return a second later. - -The likely cause seems like it would be some sort of screen refresh bug in Thunderbird. I've been digging through the [Bugzilla archives][2] trying to find something similar but so far I haven't turned anything up (I can only stare at that creepy red, bug-eating monster for so long at any one setting). If it turns out to be an unfiled bug, I will of course file it. - -And naturally this isn't meant as a slam of Thunderbird 2 since it's obviously still in a pre-release phase and bugs are to be expected. I just wanted to follow up for those users who may have been tempted to go ahead and start using the beta based on my previous review. - -[2]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ "Bugzilla@Mozilla – Main Page" -[1]: http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/2007/01/report_thunderb.html "Report: Thunderbird 2.0b2" \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
