I finally made the switch to Thunderbird. The Bat is okay but for some reason image loading in emails is really, really, really slow. There are many other minor issues… Although Thunderbird has it’s fair share too. To make it even halfway usable you need a long list of extensions, some of them experimental. SmartTemplate in particular is a feature every other email client has had since about 1993.

Anyway, here is the current list:

AutoRewarp *

British English Dictionary

Compact Header

GMail Conversation View

keyconfig

NoBlankQuote *

PlainAddress

Quote Colors

SmartTemplate

SmoothWheel

Text Link

I use a dark but vibrant colour scheme:

Add the following to userChrome.css:

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");

#folderTree {
 background-color: #272822 !important;
 color: #f8f8f2 !important;
}

#folderTree treechildren:-moz-tree-cell-text(selected),
#folderTree treechildren:-moz-tree-cell-text(selected, focus),
#folderTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row(selected, focus),
#folderTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row(selected) {
 background-color: #555753 !important;
 color: #f8f8f2 !important;
}

#threadTree {
 background-color: #272822 !important;
 color: #f8f8f2 !important;
}

#threadTree treechildren:-moz-tree-cell-text(selected),
#threadTree treechildren:-moz-tree-cell-text(selected, focus),
#threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row(selected, focus),
#threadTree treechildren::-moz-tree-row(selected) {
 background-color: #555753 !important;
 color: #f8f8f2 !important;
}

#content-frame[editortype=textmail] {
 padding-left: 5px;
 background-color: #272822;
}

Add this to userContent.css:

#viewsource {
 color: #f8f8f2 !important;
}

body {
 background-color: #272822;
 color: #f8f8f2;
 border: 0 0 0 0;
 padding: 0 0 0 0;
 margin: 0 0 0 0;
}

body > pre {
 background-color: #272822;
 color: #f8f8f2;
}

body > * {
 background-color: #fff;
 color: #000;
}

pre {
 background-color: #272822;
 color: #f8f8f2;
}

pre > a:link {
 color: #65ff00;
}

div[class=moz-text-html] {
 background-color: #fff !important;
 color: #000 !important;
 padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
}

div[class=moz-text-plain] {
 background-color: #272822;
 color: #f8f8f2;
 padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
}

*[_moz_dirty] {
 color: #f8f8f2;
 background-color: #272822;
}

*[_moz_quote=true] {
 color: #ffcb00;
}

/* Quote Levels Colors */
blockquote[type=cite] {
 background-color: #272822;
}

blockquote[type=cite] > pre {
 color: #ffcb00;
}

blockquote[type=cite] blockquote > pre{
 color: #fd6500;
}

blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote > pre {
 color: #00a000;
}

blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote blockquote > pre {
 color: purple;
}

blockquote[type=cite] blockquote blockquote blockquote blockquote > pre {
 color: teal;
}
