Publisher's description of Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.6

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.

  "A nice replacement for Outlook Express"

  by goldengreeke on October 18, 2005

  Pros: I've been using Thunderbird as my default e-mail program for about a month with no problems. To be very honest with you, though, I really haven't seen any difference between the two programs. It's as good as Outlook, but I can't say it is better. If you hate Big Brother,((Microsoft) I'm sure you will love Thunderbird. Try it, it's free!

  "So mediocre one wonders why Mozilla offers it; there's better freeware out there"

  by Cheese61 on October 8, 2005

  Pros: It's free.

  The Fanboi crowd is smaller than Firefox.

  Cons: Clumsy interface.

  Difficult to configure.

  Horrible newsreader.

  "Wooo hooo"

  by grabacontroller on August 29, 2005

  Pros: I don't have to use insecure Outlook anymore. Thunderbird has themes and extensions.

  Cons: The only thing that I don't like is that sometimes when you put a bad password, you can delete your emails before it even says something. Other than that, really cool!

  "THIS is the one I use"

  by kidcougar on November 19, 2005

  Pros: I have been using this for a while now and just like Firefox is an excellent browser, this is an excellent e-mail program. Great replacement for Outlook or Outlook Express. You can customize the appearance with themes and add features through the ever growing list of extensions. Simply put, it works great and has all of the features that I need.

  Cons: Starting the program could be a little faster.
