My company's computer department--wait, let me admit that's only a little more than 2 people--want to go to Firefox and also a different email client than Outlook Express. The candidates so far seem to be Eudora or Thunderbird. Does anyone have any user info or recommendations on this?

All I've found about the limitations of Firefox is that it can't handle any ActiveX controls which means that Macromedia Flash will not run on it. That's used for animated advertisements but there might be a site out there that uses it for an animated homepage.

ActiveX is also needed for Microsoft's update pages but if you're using IE only secondarily I suppose you could relegate it to the Start >Programs.
