A leap forward - Thunderbird 3 beta
,----[ Quote ]
| From the outside it’s just another Thunderbird as we know it - with some user
| interface changes and tweaks. But under the hood, the groundwork was laid for
| many future improvements and additions. The bird will have the Lightning
| calendar offered as a default installation option in its final version - and
| with it introduce you to tabs. Yes, tabs as we know it from Firefox - now in
| the upcoming new Mozilla product for email, messaging, calendaring and
| whatnot.

Thunderbird 3 beta 1 - a platform for innovation shapes up
,----[ Quote ]
| In some ways, this is a typical beta — we’ve changed a lot of code since
| Thunderbird 2, and we need a lot of people to tell us if we’ve made any
| boo-boos when fixing bugs. It’s also a good beta in that we’ve moved the
| product forward, in part thanks to new capabilities in the underlying Mozilla
| platform, which gives us faster performance all around, an add-on manager
| which will be even more useful for Thunderbird users than for Firefox users.
| We also have important new mail-specific capabilities, including a
| new “autosync” system that gets Thunderbird to download IMAP message bodies
| early, so they’re already there when you need them, and a much faster
| implementation for deleting and moving IMAP messages, which I can’t imagine
| living without at this point. The one-click add-to-addressbook is also an
| elegant and shameless ripoff of the Firefox bookmarking model, which our
| alpha users love.

QuickQuote for Thunderbird: The best extension you’ve never heard of
,----[ Quote ]
| For me, that is where QuickQuote comes in. This simple extension for
| Thunderbird allows to you define a portion of text in an e-mail and then
| decide how to act that text. And to make this even easier, all you have to do
| is highlight the text and then right-mouse click the highlighted text. When
| you right-click the highlighted text, you will notice a few new entries to
| the menu:
|
| * Quote In New Message
| * Quote In Reply
| * Quote In Reply To All
| * Quote In Compose message

10 Great Thunderbird Addons You Must-have
,----[ Quote ]
| More than a year back, Aibek has written a great list of 35 must-have
| thunderbird addons. Since then, a lot of great addons have been created and
| some of the older addons have also evolved to become a better one. As such,
| it is time for us to re-visit the list of Thunderbird addons and update our
| readers with the latest list of must-have Thunderbird addons. (If you never
| heard of Tunderbird before, it’s an email client from Mozilla, just like
| Microsoft’s Outlook but a lot more customizable.)

Spreadthunderbird is Go
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the reasons that Firefox has been successful is the extraordinary way
| that users have been mobilised as part of a vast, global marketing group
| without precedent.
|
| Tens of thousands – perhaps even hundreds of thousands – of people have added
| their pebble to the cairn of promotion to produce the market shares we see
| today for Firefox (particularly in Europe).
|
| The main vehicle for creating and sustaining this distributed marketing team
| is Spreadfirefox, which effectively applied the open source software
| development methodology to the sphere of promotion. That is, it has made
| ordinary Firefox users feel engaged in the propagation of the software, just
| as they can become engaged in its development through bug reports.

Mozilla Messaging releases new Thunderbird 3 alpha
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla Messaging has launched the third alpha release of Thunderbird 3.0, a
| major update of the open source e-mail client. The current prerelease series,

| enhancements that are part of a major user interface overhaul.
