I like these Ubuntu sessions & stuff, however I haven't much free time
at this point, having to setup my machine ASAP for upcoming exams.

Regarding this particular mail issue, I have installed the "mail"
program (I don't remember the package), and it doesn't show any local
emails sent from the system (from any service) neither to root nor to my
simple user account, as was the case with CentOS & Scientific Linux, so
I don't need Thunderbird to read them in Ubuntu.

I think perhaps this isn't a Thunderbird bug, perhaps it doesn't detect
some specific configuration or something.
