Mozilla Thunderbird 2 beta 1 released
Mozilla Thunderbird 2 beta 1 has been released. The release of Thunderbird and Firefox are not synchronised and currently Thunderbird 2 should be released in the first half of 2007.Beyond Thunderbird 2, future Thunderbird releases will benefit from contributions from Qualcomm’s Eudora team. Although Thunderbird and Eudora are planned to remain separate products at this time, being based on the Thunderbird code base will mean that both clients will benefits to improvements on common features.Some of the most important new features in 2.0 include message tags, improved offline management (not on Mac OS X yet), better extension support, advanced mail notification alerts and improved folder management. This release also includes a new theme and is the first release to natively support both Intel and PowerPC Macs via a universal binary.
Currently Thunderbird is my mailer of choice on Windows and Linux but on the Mac I tend to use Apple’s Mail app.
