Thunderbird 2.0 has made improvements in the area of saved
searches, message labels, tags and virtual folders,
a “move again” function, a new message alert system,
and a history of messages viewed. These improvements were described
in a “first look” review at Linux.com on Wednesday.
The reviewer also found some problems in that
Thunderbird can still only send e-mail via a single SMTP server.
Some settings, like POP and IMAP, are deferred in
the account setup, and the preference settings remain
confusing. The review also noted that Thunderbird still doesnit
have good support for importing from popular e-mail programs.
Much more is covered in this thorough review. Thunderbird is becoming
a popular alternative e-mail program on the Macintosh. Now
that Qualcomm has announced that future versions of Eudora
will be based on the Thunderbird technology platform,
Thunderbird, which is an open source project, is getting
more and more attention. The current release version of
Thunderbird for Mac is at the Mozilla Website.
