I like Thunderbird, but...
I recently switched one of my Pop accounts from Thunderbird to Outlook. I didn't do it because of functionality. I didn't do it because I didn't like Thunderbird. In fact I still use Thunderbird for my others.

The reason I switched is because some of those damn zombies out there are spamming the living crap out of people with "user-agent: thunderbird" in the header. That caused me (in my previous job), as well as many others to block it or at least quarantine it.

The account I switched to Outlook is one that I am using on a job search and I cannot afford to have my emails blocked because of some zombie network. It sucks but what am I to do?
