Just saw these last couple of responses. Thanks Myles for the suggestions. As of Tuesday I've made the switch from Thunderbird to mu4e for my work account. So far it's fantastic, so I definitely recommend it for Emacs users. The ability to store links in org files is a lifesaver, and helped me to stop using my Inbox as a ToDo list. And I get Emacs autocorrect (abbrev-mode), which is primitive but pretty useful for me. I have zsh instead of bash and it has an autocorrect feature that I don't quite understand, but helps me out from time to time.

Does anyone use an email client that has decent autocorrect? I am a terrible typist who makes many similar mistakes over and over. In thunderbird, correcting my errors takes about 30-50% of my total message composition time. I know there are reasons to hate autocorrect, but in my case it's a big timesaver. Any suggestions?
I am also a trrible typist and on top of it a horrible speller. There was a great plugin for Thunderbird[0] but i hasn't been updated since 31. So now I just have the *Check spelling before sending* option checked. It should be in Options -> Composition -> Spelling.
On a somewhat related note there are also some good command line utilities I like to use:
* Bash's Shopt cdspell[1] will fix mistakes like `cd /etc/psotfix` automagically. * thefuck[1] correct the previous command like `aptget install python` to `apt-get install python`.
