Oh? I have, I found Claws to have quite advanced search, filters, actions etc. It's one of the main reasons I switched :-)
Here's a screenshot of claws extended search:
Nothing in particular jumps out at me that you can't do in t-bird. Did you find something specific? In t-bird, the handiest thing is the toolbar 'search all messages' box that is very fast and does partial matches as you type. But, for non-work mail these days I just use a free gmail account and google obviously knows how to search.
I was merely saying, that Claws Mail can search just as advanced as TB, and sometimes better and more precise (or so it does for me).
However, for me, it is not only the search which drags me to claws-mail it is the advanced filtering, actions after mail is fetched, the light resource usage etc. Personally it just suits me.
But of course, everybody is different and prefer different things :-).
I was a Thunderbird user for a very long time (since it's early days) I watched it grow, and become a great client, but then I personally find it went down hill after. But just my personal opinion.
As for webmail, good idea if you are on the move, very handy, but I'll always prefer a proper client over a web gui :-). Gmail it's self is a good service however. I use it, but usually only via IMAP. :-)
I am just suggesting, if someone feels like "it's time for a change" they should check out claws, if they are happy with Thunderbird, by all means carry on using it :-).
