Publisher's description of Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0
From Mozilla:Thunderbird makes e-mailing safer, faster, and easier than ever before with the industry's best implementations of features, such as intelligent spam filters, a built-in RSS reader, and quick search.
Thunderbird gives you a faster, safer, and more productive e-mail experience. We designed Thunderbird to prevent viruses and to stop junk mail so you can get back to reading your mail. Read on to find out more about the reasons why you should use Thunderbird as your mail client and RSS reader.
Thunderbird provides the most effective tools for detecting junk mail. Our tools analyze your e-mail and identify those that are most likely to be junk. You can automatically have your junk mail deleted or you can put it in a folder you specify, just in case you like reading junk mail.
View your e-mail the way you want it. Access your e-mail with Thunderbird's new three-column view. Customize your toolbar, change its look with themes, and use Mail Views to quickly sort through your e-mail.
Thunderbird provides enterprise and government grade security features such as S/MIME, digital signing, message encryption, support for certificates, and security devices.
Thunderbird 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.
Thunderbird lets you add additional features as you need them through extensions. Extensions are a powerful tool to help you build a mail client that meets your specific needs.

Version: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0
Pros: Well designed, highly configurable UI and lightning fast compared to the full version of Outlook. Great security features. Many useful application extensions and cosmetic themes are available at no cost. Installation is fast and easy. User Forum and Knowledge Base are instantly accessable from Help Menu. Highly recommended for anyone who needs the depth of Outlook but prefers a more streamlined, efficient & safer email interface. Definitely FIVE stars!
Cons: While the installation is a breeze there are dozens of configuration options that might be confusing to users who not email savvy. If you're totally satisfied and comfortable with something like Outlook Express, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail etc., Thunderbird might be a bit more than you need. Users with multiple email addresses should be prepared to spend an hour or two configuring and tweaking the various options and account settings.

"Good alternative to Outlook!"
Pros: If your looking for an alternative to Outlook this is probably one of the better alternatives. It has many of the same features and at first glance looks very similar. You can even download new themes to suit your mood, and it's free!

Version: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0
Pros: Integrates well with the Mozilla Firefox web browser. Since Firefox and Thunderbird are not a suite, things probably will have less problems. Everything is cleaner and less of a hog. Thunderbird works well with Google's Gmail even since they began allowing POP access to users.
