If that's the case then TB kicks OE arse.

OE only lets you block a specific e-mail address TB allows you to use 
wild cards.

TB allows you to have multiple POP accounts that have their own Inbox or 
pick and choose which accounts use the global Inbox, OE you have one 
Inbox that's it.

I have had great success filtering out the shite with the Junk filters. 
The only issue I have with them is being able to export what it has 
learnt to another computer.

TB will  import all her OE mail, address book and account settings so 
she won't lose anything by switching over. What it does not import are 
the account passwords and an filtering rules.

If she is like any of the people that I have installed TB for she will 
have forgotten the password of her POP account and will be mightly 
impressed at the features of TB.
