For the millions of people changing to the Firefox web browser, today marks the day that the E-mail component has reached a stable 1.0 release.
Thunderbird looks much like Outlook Express, but has been designed with Security, Spam filtering and advanced features in mind. I’ve been using pre-release versions for over a year now and I’ve been very impressed. It’s small, fast and feature filled, just like Firefox. Some advanced features are E-mail cleaning, where spam E-mails are stripped of web bugs and remote images, so the spammers can’t use them to validate your E-mail address, virtual folders for search terms, a learning spam filter, an RSS reader and a heap of other stuff. You don’t see that complexity unless you want to though, so it’s a very easy program to get along with. Thunderbird will also import your Outlook Express mail, address book and settings, so you won’t even have to manually configure it.
