I read the information posted above, I run thunderbird mail program right now,

1) What advantages to using the above are there compared to thunderbird?

2) What are the difference/s between a mail server and a program like thunderbird?

Thunderbird is like Outlook it retrives email from a computer on the internet running a email server. (your email you can think of as a file stored on another computer across the internet and a mail client like Thunderbird retrives this email)

The above programs are Email Servers.
