Thunderbird 3 released

A lot of home PC users who still use local email clients have found themselves left out in the cold by Microsoft. Outlook Express hasn’t been updated in years. The name was changed to Windows Mail in Vista but not much else was new. Windows 7 doesn’t even have an email client included; you have to download a suite of products with a lot of stuff you may not want.

Probably the best free solution for those who like to download and view email on their own system instead of on the Web is Mozilla’s Thunderbird. Version 3.0 is just out and it is getting good reviews. Lifehacker says:

Thunderbird 3.0 comes packed with fantastic new features, including a new tabbed interface à la Firefox and other web browsers, a beautiful and powerful new search and filtering tool that lets you pinpoint any email, and a totally streamlined email setup tool that’ll get your Gmail or other accounts up and running with Thunderbird in a jiffy.

The download page is here.
