Thunderbird 3: Whats New?
The first big update of Thunderbird since 2007 has brought with it a plethora of interesting functionality. The most interesting improvements, from among more than 2000, are a new tabbed interface, improved account setup, search improvements and some UI modifications.
Mozilla Messaging, an independent subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation, has made the new release available in 49 languages and works with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
Starting Up
It takes a total of about 20 seconds or a new user to set up a Gmail account for secure IMAP access as Thunderbird automatically finds the correct servers and ports. Alternatively, for a faithful Thunderbird, user migration from version 2 to 3 does not require any intervention.
Tabbed Interface
The tab-based interface is very similar to Mozilla’s Firefox Internet browser offering, which is a good thing any way you look at it. This feature makes shuffling between messages easier. It also makes room for some rich graphic add-ons to be made available for the client in time.
The tabbed interface has a few minor omissions though. For instance, tab re-ordering is not possible, individual tabs do not have the ‘X’ to close them and composing new messages and the address book open in a new window than in a new tab by default. None of these might have a crippling effect on its users but it would make the TB 3 experience more complete.
