Of course, Outlook does a better job of compressing the message list when it's smaller because it switches to two lines instead of just one. I'm not sure if thunderbird does the same, but I know Pocomail does, which is what I use for my personal email on my Vista box. In the end it's all about perceptions, you are correct... I'm coming from a background in Windows so it just feels better to me that way. I’ve just gotten really used to Outlook 2007 now… so it feels much better on the right.

I think that having the reading pane on the side looks awful, it pane belongs below. This is one of the few times that I think that Jobs and Apple are right. Antiquated is in the eye of the beholder.
