Would you recommend "Thunderbird" for my E-mail Application?

I agree, there really is no advantage. But I'd
just as soon have them both together rather than
separate.

Thanks again for your time.

You're welcome, but I'll add just one more point and then shut up. I
like to choose the e-mail client I like best and the newsreader I like
best. Whether they are one program or two separate programs really
doesn't matter to me, and doesn't influence my choices.

But if there is no DISadvantage, what's the issue? When they're
reliable, I prefer things to be integrated; less to fiddle with and
maintain, etc.. In most ingegrations all it amounts to is more than one
dedicated module and maybe calls from one to another in some of the
larger ones. MSOffice is a prime example.

Its just the law of the jungle that when 2 different applications are combined there are going to be compromises. It always happens.
The upside is perhaps you have a tiny bit less resources being used. But in this day and age that's not even important as neither
of these apps are huge resource hogs.

You can run 2 instances of Windows Live Messenger concurrently (for 2 different accounts) so I wonder if its possible to do the same
with Windows Live Mail? Or maybe use Outlook for email and Windows Live Mail for Usenet?
