Really? They can't even show replies to my messages. Take this
piece of junk I am using right now called Thunderbird.
Unfortunately MS never developed OE for Linux yet.

Nor will they ever. MS is a publisher of closed source programs.
When they stop work on a program, it is over for that program.
Permanently. You are saying that you can't run Windows XP in a
Linux
VM? That will certainly allow you to have access to your beloved
MSOE! :/

Emulators and virtual machines slows you down. Thus I have no use
for
such things. Multiple computers beats both every time. ;-)

Say do you use virtual machines?

Most people do, in fact you probably do without even knowing it.

How so?

Java Virtual Machine.

But you're right, any additional code that's running will make the
other programs sharing the processors time seem to run slower.

Oh gosh! I forgot about JVM. I also hate that thing. :-(

Slightly OT, but you may find this interesting:

....it's not about Java, but more about the type of VM you actually
meant, and may be of interest to the malware researchers amongst us.
