Publisher's description of Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.2

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 1.02 improves security.

• "What's the word? Thunderbird!"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.2

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 1.0.2

  "Best and most easy to use!"

  by computer_genius on May 31, 2005

  Pros: This has been by far the best and most easy to use e-mail client that I have used. It has an excellent spam filter; which is the easiest to set up compared to multiple mail clients. It's very suitable even for beginners. You can skin it, customize it... it is very feature rich too. And best of all, it's free and open source! You can also set up accounts easily. What more could you ask for? Get it now!

  Cons: None!

  "Thunderbird. Everything you need."

  by Nighted on July 3, 2005

  Pros: Want skins? Newsgroups? Addons like PGP, smilies, RSS feeds, and too many other amazing extension to mention...seriously, go over to Mozilla.org, it will blow your mind at how much you can customize this client. Oh one more thing...IT'S COMPLETELY FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

  Cons: For the price, none.

  "God awful software"

  by Cheese61 on June 8, 2005

  Pros: It's free

  Cons: Utterly user unfriendly. Good for computer geeks, college students and the jobless who have time on thier hands to learn the ropes. Everyone else beware, help files are confusing, nothing is intuitive and...just avoid it. There are better free email clients and, by the way, this is the WORST usenet reader out there.

  Just awful.

  "The best email client"

  by Flamed on July 13, 2005

  Pros: Very easy to use, customizable interface, work really well with IMAP mail server. When I deleted an email on IMAP server with Thunderbird, it is gone. Unlike thunderbird, microsoft outlook express and outlook 2003 still keep them the inbox with a crossed line, very annoying.

  Cons: None, an integrated hotmail or HTTPS email server support will be nice.
