It works on Windows a bit, but not well and is not supported by the developers on Windows. Thunderbird on the other hand works the same on other platforms and has a better support base.

I think that the average user will never use half of the functions avaliable anyway. And the price is right - so i'll go with the new version, just as soon as i can get to download it.
