Sounds like the only problem you had with your installation is that 
Thunderbird wasn't saving any of your configuration...

Actually, I'd have to agree with you there. That's one of the few criticisms

obvious problems.

For the record, I hate Outlook etc with a _passion_, and flatly refuse to 
use it - period.
