Mozilla Thunderbird is the safe, fast email client that’s easy to use. It has lots of great features including quick message search, customizable views, support for IMAP/POP, RSS support and more. Plus, the portable version leaves no personal information behind on the machine you run it on, so you can take your email and adress book with you wherever you go.
Thunderbird 3 Beta 2 is a successor of a great email client.
Thunderbird 3 Beta 2 gives you IMAP/POP support, a built-in RSS reader, support for HTML mail, powerful quick search, saved search folders,
advanced message filtering, message grouping, labels, return receipts, smart address book LDAP address completion, import tools, and the
ability to manage multiple e-mail and newsgroup accounts.
This milestone is focused on testing the core functionality of the new features and platform changes that will be included in Thunderbird 3.
New features and changes in this milestone include:
Eudora is the best email program for people who get lots of email. If you’re not one of those people now, you will be soon. So, take control of your email before it takes control of you. Eudora is more than a way to send and receive messages – it’s a powerful email management tool with features to increase your productivity and enhance your communications.
ScamWatch combats “phishing” schemes that use disguised URL’s to gather personal information. Eudora now detects if the URL in the link differs suspiciously from the host name and warns you to exercise caution before making the connection.
Version 8 of is now open source and based on Thunderbird. The Penelope project’s intention is to join the Eudora® user experience with the Mozilla platform. We intend to produce a version of Eudora that is open source and based on Mozilla and Thunderbird. It’s *not* our intention to compete with Thunderbird; rather, we want to complement it.
We are committed to both preserving the Eudora user experience and to maintaining maximum compatibility, for both developers and users, with Thunderbird. It is our goal to build a single development community around Thunderbird and Eudora, so that both mailers advance faster than they previously have.
