Publisher's description of Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.5

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. Thunderbird was designed to prevent viruses and to stop junk mail so you can get back to reading your mail. 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 messages.

Version 1.0.5 improves security.

• "What's the word? Thunderbird!"

Formerly known as the e-mail component of the Mozilla Web browser, Thunderbird now exists as a stand-alone, full-featured client. The recently stripped-down code feels leaner and more focused than the original Mozilla component. In terms of features, the program is comparable to or exceeds other products in this space, boasting good junk-mail filters, compatibility with RSS feeds, HTML support, and multiple identities. Thunderbird handles both POP and IMAP accounts admirably, but we would like to see greater support for Microsoft's Exchange server. The program also boasts stellar security features such as S/MMIE, digital signing, and message encryption. Visually ahead of the game, Thunderbird's interface is a joy to use, and the application now lacks the sluggishness that plagued pervious versions. We also like the layout options, which allow us to view our mail in various columned arrangements. Other little perks include message searching, saved-search folders, import tools, smart-address completion, labels, and return receipts. Though the lack of full Exchange support will keep this e-mail app on the sidelines in the corporate world, home users looking for an alternative to Outlook Express will absolutely find Thunderbird a high-flying choice.

  Version: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.5

  "No problems, straightforward, quick, does what its meant to!"

  by garlandam on July 17, 2005

  Pros: It does what it is meant to - it gets the

  mail, allows for easy sorting, does everything I want it to and is very intuitive to use.

  I think its logo is brilliant - a measure of the nice design and look and feel of the whole thing. It sits very well with Firefox!

  I would recommend it for anyone, particularly if you are new to or awkward around e-mailing.

  Cons: It is different from Outlook so if you love Outlook and are used to all its little ways, Thunderbird will take some getting used to.
