Speaking of desktop email clients, Mozilla just unleashed Thunderbird 3.1. The latest Mozilla email client is now based on the Gecko 1.9.2 platform providing improved performance, stability and web compatibility, among other nifty new features.
A new migration assistant wizard helps users move easily across from existing clients such as Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Mail, importing emails, address books, and settings into Thunderbird, whilst new tools including a timeline and filtering tools allow easy and efficient ways to find past emails.
And for those looking to expand their Thunderbird installation with new add-ons and extensions, it’s now easier than ever to install and download them – you can do it straight from the Add-ons Manager.
This looks to be one of the most solid Thunderbird releases to-date. The new account setup is magnitudes easier to use than in previous versions, hopefully facilitating an increased adoption rate for the less tech savvy users out there. There are a load of additional new features worth reading about as well.
