Email switch from Eudora to Thunderbird

I'm transitioning email clients from Eudora to Thunderbird. And, luckily, I'm not the first one to do so: thanks, the College of Letters and Science at UC Berkeley for sharing your experience and tips!. I so love the Google.
Eudora has been the best email client EVER. I have used oh-so-many and, hands down, Eudora has been the best. I will miss it terribly. I didn't start using it because it was named after Eudora Welty, per her short story "Why I Live at the Post Office". But that was just an added bonus. Sadly, Eudora stopped being developed in 2006. That means no more improvements, no research into or fixing security holes, etc. So, time to change.
Why have I chosen Thunderbird? Because it's a free, open source, cross-platform package from an organization I've had very good experiences with, the Mozilla Foundation. It also got a very good review from MacWorld magazine. And, finally, how can I advocate that nonprofits, as well as organizations in the developing world, use such software unless I'm willing to myself?
