Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
Formerly known as the e-mail component of the Mozilla Web browser, Thunderbird now exists as a standalone, 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, message encryption, and a built-in phishing detector. Visually ahead of the game, Thunderbird's interface is a joy to use, and the application now lacks the sluggishness that plagued previous 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. New search and tabs take flight in Thunderbird 3:Publisher's Description
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 1.5.0.2 adds improvements to stability and a number of important security fixes.

"Just WOW"
Version: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.2
Pros
This really exceeds my expectations. I like the interface very much and have been happy using it with my new computer. It was the first application I downloaded and installed as I did not want to be using Outlook Express.
I like the extra ability to have rss feeds expecially.

"Fantastic email client"
Version: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.2

What's not to like? Easy to setup, works great. I use it now in place of Outlook and Outlook Express.

"Terrible! Flawed! Not worth downloading!"
Version: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.2
Cons
Many types of email cannot be deleted. The "Junk Mail" feature is inefficient and there is no option to automatically get rid of junk. Address book is too limited and refuses to remove addresses. Cannot compare with Outlook, Outlook Express, Pegasus, Hotmail or Gmail.
Randomly deletes messages or attathments/photos, or randomly denies mail to be sent or recieved. The interface is poorly conceived and the entire program is slow and pathetic with either no or completely useless spell checking.

"So-So"
Version: Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5.0.2
Pros
I liked the extensions as well as Spam handling.
Cons
Either I'm missing something or the ability to forward mail is lacking. I could find no way to easily forward attachments, and the removal of other recipients addresses in the forwarded mail was something I was never sure was completed. I'm still looking for a good email client.

Fast, simple, doesn't use a lot of resources, draws on the same open source developer base as Firefox.
Cons
Importing from Outlook and Outlook Express is tempermental at best.
