Thunderbird 3.0 Release Candidate: Just in Time for Thanksgiving (OStatic)
[Development] Posted Nov 26, 2009 16:06 UTC (Thu) by cook

Joe Brockmeier looks at Thunderbird 3.0 RC 1 on OStatic. "If you just can't get away from email over the holidays, you can at least help test the release candidate for Thunderbird 3.0. The Mozilla folks released Thunderbird 3.0 RC 1 on Tuesday with more than 100 changes in the release. It's been a long time in coming, the first release in the 2.0 series was back in 2007. But Thunderbird 3.0 looks like it might be worth the wait when the final is released. What's new and interesting? The user interface changes are probably the first thing you'll notice, especially the new tabbed interface. Instead of opening messages in a new window, they'll now open in a tab." Thunderbird is available here.
