Product Description:

Thunderbird makes e-mailing safer, faster, and easier with such features as intelligent spam filters, a built-in RSS reader, and quick search. Thunderbird was designed to prevent viruses and to stop junk mail so you can get back to reading your mail. Thunderbird provides effective tools for detecting junk mail. Its tools analyze your e-mail and identify those that are most likely to be junk. You can automatically have your junk mail deleted or you can put it in a folder you specify, just in case you like reading junk mail.

View your e-mail the way you want it. Access your e-mail with Thunderbird's new three-column view. Customize your toolbar, change its look with themes, and use Mail Views to quickly sort through your messages.

Without the ability directly to import Apple's 'Address Book' or mail/settings from 'Mail,' Thunderbird has too big an overhead to make it worth trying. Shame - it seems capable.

I am surprised by the late reporting. - Version: 2.0.0.23, 8/24/2009 11:12AM PST

Thunderbird already came out on 12-08-09. VersionTracker time asleep again? *smile*

Not as integrated as Mail.app but better in many ways - Version: 2.0.0.21, 4/4/2009 03:59AM PST

I wanted to use Mail.app and did for many years but it's handling of Gmail IMAP in Leopard became very slow and buggy for me. It also lost the trademark "bling" sound when new mail arrived. Actually it did it sporadically. Such a letdown.

I tried all sorts of things to get better performance from mail.app and got nowhere so I decided to give thunderbird a shot. Gmail IMAP support is excellent and mailboxes load quickly. I couldn't be happier.

Yes I have lost some functionality but not enough to make me switch back to mail.app. Thunderbird has been a tank in terms of stability and it has speed. I wish it had better Growl support but overall, I'm a satisfied customer.
