Last time I tried it was years ago, I didn't like it. Too fat
(requires the whole KDE stuff) and too complicated in use. 
I'm actually an mutt guy, sometimes using seamonkey's mail stuff.

The only reason for installing TB is the support for RSS feeds
(mutt IMHO doesnt have this yet).

Evrything could be much easier, if every MUA just used 9p-mailfs,
and the actual mailbox (and remote protocol) handling is done 
in the 9p server ;-o
