Get the latest Mozilla Messaging beta release of Mozilla Thunderbird. Thunderbird makes e-mailing safer, faster, and easier with such features as intelligent spam filters, a built-in RSS reader, add-ons, themes, and quick search.

What's new in this version:

Thunderbird 3 is based on the Gecko 1.9.1.5 platform including some major re-architecting to provide improved performance, stability, web compatibility, and code simplification and sustainability.

  • "Download new messages automatically" should be checked/activated/enabled by default (at least for POP3 accounts!)
  • Theme is now labeled as version 2.0
  • "Download More Dictionaries" failed to open webpage correctly

Mozilla Thunderbird  Reviewprefer Postbox to TB - Version: 3 beta 2, 6/28/2009 12:19AM PST

Prefer the new Postbox mail client to Thunderbird. Postbox supports search within your mailbox, Gmail-style conversation view, and photo (attachment) management. I've found it much easier to work with than TB.

Postbox is frequently updated, too. Strongly recommended.

Mozilla Thunderbird  CommentaryUnusual behavior - Version: 3 beta 2, 2/27/2009 03:09PM PST

A few days ago, I downloded Thunderbird 3.b02 directly from Mozilla's web site. Creation date 2/18/09. Works perfectly, all its options and functions.
The one I downloaded from the link supplied in VersionTracker, once installed, does not display Preferences, and under 'Help" the option 'Check for updates' is grayed out.
I consider it surprising, I have trashed it, and resumed using Thunderbird 3.0b2, creation date 2/18/09 downloaded from Mozilla's web site.
Therefore I do not recommend the use of the application obtained through VersionTracker's link.
