Mozilla Releases Thunderbird 2.0
Mozilla Corporation today released Thunderbird 2, its free, open source e-mail client for Windows, Mac, and Linux systems in 30 languages. The new release boasts improved security and a variety of new features. Chief among them is message tagging, the ability to label and categorize e-mail for easier searching and organization. In addition to default tags, users can create their own. Thunderbird 2 also features message history navigation, similar in concept to the browser history feature in Firefox. A new find-as-you-type feature winnows displayed messages on the fly, making searches faster. Thunderbird 2 also lets users save searches as folders. Re-executing that search becomes a matter of clicking on the saved search folder. Thunderbird 2 can be easily extended with a variety of free add-ons that are available from Mozilla.org, such as AdBlock Plus and the Lightning calendar.
Thunderbird’s main shortcoming at the moment is its lack of a stable Outlook-compatible calendar, a key to enterprise adoption. Mozilla is working on a calendar that works both without Thunderbird (Sunbird) and with it (Lightning), but it’s not quite ready yet. Nonetheless, Thunderbird is being used by a wide variety of organizations. Though Mozilla Corporation does not track downloads, making it harder to identify corporate users, a spokesperson for the organization pointed to a 2006 article which says some 45,000 French police planned to start using Thunderbird that year. I’m still loyal to Outlook Express – not because I would consider it the best, but simply because the strength of the habit.

Yahoo Thunderbird o Cool
“i’m still loyal to Outlook Express – not because I would consider it the best, but simply because the strength of the habit.”
Oh wow. Break the habit now. IE:FF as OE:TB … well not nearly that bad, but make the move… you’ll be glad you did!
Stop fucking around, if you want to get work done use outlook express. You can use Mozilla and Linux in your bolshevist utopia, it’s a shithole called China.
I love fucking around really especially in China its great. I love Labradors especially with lettuce.
Stop shittin’ DRE, some of us can use windows and NOT use some shit in it like IE ot OE. Both FF and TB are much better (well TB NEEDS some workaround but it’s good enough to work with it)
very good software but ill stick with O.E. works fine
Mozilla Rules and definitely kicks Internet Explorers ass. I haven’t tried Outlook Express but then again I haven’t tried jumping out of a plane.
I’m also an ignorant asswipe who wouldn’t know how to send email if somebody deleted the outlook express icon from my desktop.
But I’m telling you, don’t use Thunderbird because open source=communism + satan. And they’re also financing terrorists by selling this shit. Oh it’s free, well err… it’s still communist propaganda.
Oh no snap, Crackle and pop are trying to sell me rice crispies.
Well, I like Thunderbird. used other E-Mail clients but never got used to them. TB is easy and works well… atleast it has what I need for work & Private life.
If your current E-Mail client works for you… Why change, right? =)
Dre STFU anything is better than monopoly. Microsoft sucks.
stop smoking
I’m using both Lightning and Thunderbird and I’m very happy with it.
When working in a little company I had to use outlook as it was necessary for calendar and all.
But I prefer Thunderbird as it is little easier on me.
Its all about Hushmail…F this tb sh!t
I love fucking around really especially in China its great. I love Labradors especially with lettuce.
WHAT THE FCUK does that mean.
Dre:
I use one out of hundreds of Linux Distributions.
You use an OS that controls over 90% of the market.
Wich of these sounds more like communism?
Monopoly’s suck, they tend to create worse products, which you will use happily
the same song….Linux vs Microsoft vs Mac…. blah, blah, blah. Who cares… if it works for you… use it!
Love is in the air…
