I find it more annoying if the browser crashes than the email client. I 
hate trying to remember what I was just doing and going through the 
history to find the site again. If mail client crashes, just make sure 
there's no orphaned processes and start it up again. Plus I guess I'm 
not all that attached to my email. I mainly get mailing list stuff and I 
can browse archives if I find I'm missing something.

I'm using a recent (3 day old) nightly build and I LOVE the Save To Disk 
option that allows for doing away with the awful dialog box that asks 
you every single time where to put the file.

Haven't had anything that isn't a known bug.... well except for the fact 
that the next button doesn't seem to function consistently :-) Never had 
a crash *touch wood* and no idiosyncrasies that aren't also in Mozilla. 
The menus are cleaner and easier to understand and my mail and settings 
imported without a hitch (if you don't count having to plonk the old 
mozilla folder containing both into the thunderbird folder ;-)). I'm 
quite satisfied with it.
