My issue is that even though I am running Linux, I use MSN for my email via POP3/SMTP and that requires that the email client properly supports Secure Authentication in the Microsoft way.  Unless I can get Mozilla working working on Ubuntu, this is a bit of a road block for me in using Dapper on a day to day basis.  The real mystery to me is why/how secure authentication was "broken" in the current versions of Thunderbird and SeaMonkey such that Mozilla 1.7.13 is the only thing that seems to work on the Linux side of the world.

Thanks for your thoughts on this but going to a seperate email system doesn't work for me when all my address and email are stuck in the pop3/smtp world and locked to MSN due to that being my "known" email address.
