CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
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 also handles both POP and IMAP accounts admirably. The program 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 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, return receipts, and antiphishing protection. Mac users looking for an alternative to Apple's e-mail client will absolutely find Thunderbird a high-flying choice.Publisher's description
