If you're going to run Thunderbird, I think the occasional stability 
issues of the current beta are worth it for the increased usability. 
Kudos to the Penelope (nee Eudora) engineer who's hacking madly though 
the codebase fixing usability problems.

IMHO, the Nostalgy extension is essential for keyboard usage.  I also 
use Signature Switch, which lets me change signatures based on 
destination (clients on support contracts get a different .sig).  There 
are a bunch of great extensions, check out the Thunderbird addons site. 
  I didn't know I needed some until I found them.

If you need to be able to deal with Exchange meeting invites, the 
Lightning extension does that but it's important to keep up with 
versions in the evolving beta scene.  This extension:

automates the process.
