Test Driving the new Thunderbird3 alpha2 (Shredder) on Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Feeling a little adventurous today? Want to get your hands dirty on something
| cool and really alpha. Here is something for you all.
| The nice folks at mozilla spunoff Thunderbird into a separate project called
| Mozilla Messaging with a prime objective of developing Thunderbird3
| (codenamed Shredder), the next generation open-source email/messaging client.

Thunderbird: Way Beyond E-Mail

| One major advantage of Thunderbird is the client's expandability. This

Connected: Microsoft Outlook 2007 is no prize, either
,----[ Quote ]
| Outlook 2007 is one of the weaker applications in Office 2007. At times I get
| so frustrated with its slow response and idiosyncrasies that I'm tempted to
| uninstall it and go back to Outlook 2003. Readers also have frustrations.

Connected: Microsoft Office 2003 better than Office 2007
,----[ Quote ]
| A review of Office 2007 could be considered doomed from the start. Its
| predecessor, Office 2003, is one of the best products Microsoft ever created;
| so the bar is raised high. After a year of using the newer product, I still
| see some features that are better than the older version; but on the whole,
| I'd rather be using Office 2003.

Thunderbird 3 email client makes alpha progress
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla Messaging, the Mozilla subsidiary that took over responsiblity for
| Mozilla's Thunderbird email client in February, is making progress with the
| development of third version of the Thunderbird email client. It has now made
| an Alpha 2 release of Thunderbird 3, code-named "Shredder", available. This
| is not a release suitable for production, as the codename broadly hints; it
| is intended for testers to exercise new features and stability in the email
| client.

Open Office vs. MS Office - the Other Key to Windows/Linux Transition
,----[ Quote ]
| So, if your excuse for not giving Linux a try was that you needed to be able
| to work with your Office documents... well, you just ran out of excuses.
| Think of what you will gain, too! No more suffering through all the
| gratuitous menu/toolbar/button changes that Microsoft makes in every new
| Office release. No more suffering through incompatible file formats between
| releases, which Microsoft seems to do every two or three releases - this is
| the second time it has happened that I can recall, and I assume that the
| recent OOXML debacle means that there is another change coming in the next
| Office release. Best of all, no more having to pay to upgrade to the new
| version every time Microsoft sees fit.

Catch a Glimpse of Mozilla's E-Mail Future in Thunderbird 3 Alpha 1
,----[ Quote ]
| It's alive! Mozilla has released the first alpha version of its upcoming
| Thunderbird 3.0, the company's next-generation e-mail application. We don't
| suggest you rush out and download it unless you're a true early adopter; this
| release isn't stable and lacks many of the features planned for Thunderbird
| 3's final release.

Has Thunderbird Finally Taken Off?

| That seems not to be the case if these figures are at all representative of

| well, adopting Thunderbird in significant numbers.

Mozilla shoots for quick Thunderbird 3.0 alpha
,----[ Quote ]
| "I believe that it's really worthwhile to get a release underway. Testers
| have only had nightlies for quite a while now, and the trunk is already
| notably better than [Thunderbird 2.0] in a number of ways," Mosedale
| continued. "Getting something that we're willing to recommend to a wider
| group of people is a great way to demonstrate real progress."

E-mail inventor: I didn't foresee spam

| He uses Thunderbird, an e-mail application developed by Mozilla, the company
| which distributes the Firefox web browser, but he also has a Gmail account.

| He said he once had to use Outlook – “I didn’t find it particularly
| attractive”, and that for a time he blocked all incoming messages from
| Hotmail, “because they used to carry a lot of viruses – though they’ve
| clamped down on that.”
