What is so good about thunderbird?

[mkjuk]

should i bother getting it considering it won't work with the email notifier extension?

[fo3nix]

it depends what you want.

if you can take advantage of thunderbird's features, then use it. if you're happy using gmail through your browser, then keep using it that way.
