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`.
