Beta For Thunderbird 5.0 Released 75
scdeimos writes "Mozilla has announced the release of Thunderbird 5.0b1, the first in their new rapid release cycles. According to the Thunderbird Beta FAQ, Thunderbird 4 was skipped, as the program's version is now tied to the underlying Gecko engine."

As you said, it depends what you use you email for.
The fact that *you* don't use your email for anything important, does not mean that *I* don't.
In my emails accounts (not only GMail) I have contracts, project proposals, contact details, collaborative discussions for projects, things I have emailed to myself as a backup, copyright notices for things I own and have released, etc.
Not to mention professional discussions, announcements and proposals. And more personal emails as well.
As organisations move to the cloud (my University is doing so now) one needs to think of What-If scenarios and plan accordingly.
For example, what happens if you are off-line and want to access an email?
