Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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 also handles both POP and IMAP accounts admirably. The program also boasts stellar security features such as S/MIME, 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. Mac users looking for an alternative to Apple's e-mail client will absolutely find Thunderbird a high-flying choice.Publisher's description
From mozilla.org :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.
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 throug your messages. Version 1.0.5 is security update.

Version: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.6
"Another Great App by the people at Mozilla"
Pros: This has got to be one of the best Email Programs i have seen in a l ong time. The interface is clean....its nice and smooth. Never had any trouble connecting to the Earthlink Proxy servers. Needs a Aqua theme though
Cons: Took me forever to set it up.

Version: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.6
Pros: Very nice interface and as weird as this seems the icon for the application is very nice.
Cons: Unfortunately, the responses you type show up at the bottom of the email after all the previous response on that particular thread of emails. For example, my friend didn't respond to a few of my emails because he didn't notice my responses because they were on the bottom and he thought he was just getting his emails right back at him.

Version: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.6
"Useless for OSX without Import from Outlook"
Cons: There is no way to Import Addresses, Mail Boxes or Settings from Outlook Express. If you are a "Classic" user of Mac and you use OE, you know what I mean. If you want to start from scratch it's a great program.
