Thunderbird 3.0 Release Candidate: Just in Time for Thanksgiving (OStatic)

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.

Fedora 12 GA includes Thunderbird 3 b4 which is a pretty nice improvement over the previous release. Expecting the RC soon as an update.

I had a problem with Thunderbird 3 b4 in Fedora 12, in which mail messages in by inbox were listed twice. Doesn't happen with Thunderbird 2.0.0.x. I'm using the Dovecot IMAP server. I'm hoping that the problem is fixed in the RC.
