Has Thunderbird Finally Taken Off?

Review: Thunderbird 2 e-mail software
,----[ Quote ]
| The Thunderbird 2 e-mail program may not get as much love from its makers at
| the open-source Mozilla Project as their favored child, the Firefox () Web
| browser, does. Nevertheless, Thunderbird 2.0.0.13 has a very strong feature
| set, and does its job well; plus, if you are looking for an e-mail client
| that works and looks exactly the same on most of the different operating
| systems you may have to deal with, then Thunderbird's almost the only game in
| town.

Reviewing Features of Mozilla Thunderbird 2
,----[ Quote ]
| In case it's not obvious, extensions are basically software utility
| add-ons of varying complexity, while themes are user interface styles
| that can somewhat dramatically change the look of the application.
| Mozilla installs a single extension in Thunderbird by default-for
| error reporting-and a single, default user interface theme. I
| find the default Thunderbird theme to be pleasing and in keeping
| with the standard Firefox look and feel.

First look: Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0
,----[ Quote ]
| The one e-mail client that seems to still be on the rise is the
| open-source Mozilla Thunderbird, which recently hit Version 2.0.
| While it hasn't changed radically, the new release includes several
| new features, most notably for organizing and finding messages.
| In this review, we'll assess which additions are useful and
| which are fluff.

Mozilla Thunderbird 2 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| Though it's likely that I'll move back to Outlook full-time at some
| point (I still use it for calendaring, actually), I have to admit
| that I had intended to use Thunderbird for about a month and then
| move on, but it's proven usable and efficient. Thunderbird is an
| excellent and high-quality email solution, and while I'm guessing
| that many of the people who read this site haven't really given it
| a shot, my advice is to do so, especially if you can't get your
| hands on Outlook 2007. Thunderbird is quite a bit better than
| Windows Mail or Outlook Express, and while many Web-based email
| services have improved with Ajax/Web 2.0-based interfaces, users
| who have to manage a lot of email will be better off with a true
| email application.

Thunderbird 2 Flies Ahead, Racing Web Mail
,----[ Quote ]
| To a certain degree, Mozilla's Thunderbird could be a victim of
| the success of its browser sibling. As next-generation browsers
| like Firefox have become better at supporting highly interactive
| GUIs for browser-based applications, managing e-mail strictly
| through a Web interface has become much less of a chore, and,
| for some people, has even replaced desktop mail clients as thef
| irst choice for dealing with e-mail.
