I really like 40tude Dialog but I had problems with the database borking 
every six months or so. BeAr gave me some help with updates but after 
about the forth time I gave up and went with Agent. It was probably me. 
It has inbuilt scripting and supports xface from recollection. Agent has 
better search.

I use Thunderbird now because it comes with Tails. It's OK but it's not 
software you can become emotionally attached to.
