DESCRIPTION
Mozilla's Thunderbird mail client is a redesign of the Mozilla mail component. Our goal is to produce a cross platform stand alone mail application using the XUL user interface language. We are modeling ourselves after the Firebird rewrite of the Mozilla browser. Our intended customer is someone who uses Firebird (or another non-mozilla browser) as their primary browser and wants a mail client based on mozilla that "plays nice" with their browser. Currently, mozilla-mail is not a good option for these users because link clicks and attachments end up going to mozilla browser windows instead of the preferred browser. In addition, by focusing solely on stand alone mail, we believe we can make some dents in the overall footprint and performance of the mail client by removing components and chrome we don't need. On top of that, the UI becomes much cleaner as a standalone application as opposed to being part of the mozilla suite.

    SHATFIELD  Open the address book from Thunderbird and click "New Card".

    Look at the Internet section of the card...

    Email

    Additional Email:

    Screen Name:

    Done.

    WTF?! Where is the ability to add as many email addresses as I want to a "card"? Additional "screen names"?

    What a joke.  (Version 2.0.0.14)

    MAC MAIL  As long as the 'BCC' button (extension) is not updated, I will not use Thunderbird. Just one little button, Thunderbird has not done anything (for Mac) since version 1.0.7

    What a disappointment!!!  (Version 2.0.0.12)

    SPARTAN  Disappointed by Apple and Leopard, I wanted to switch from the Apple suite to a more open set of tools, because I'm not sure my next computer will be a Mac... after being an Apple fan since 1984! Will Thunderbird replace Apple Mail? I don't think so. Like ETNIER, with Thunderbird 2.0.0.9, I have the message: "Import Preferences, Account Settings, Addressbook and otherdata from: Don't import anything". Good joke.  (Version 2.0.0.9)

    ETNIER  On launch I was presented with an astonishing dialog box: something to the effect of "Import my address book, settings and folders from: NONE": there was no choice made available. After that I poked around trying to see how I'd import my Mail boxes and settings and AFAIK it can't be done.

    Too bad: I was under the impression that this (V2.0.06) was a mature product.  (Version 2.0.0.6)
