Review: Thunderbird 2.0 Beta 1 Adds New Look And Feel
Mozilla, the developer of the free Thunderbird e-mail client, has taken a good program and made it better with the release of the version 2.0 beta 1. It is rare that a beta release is not buggy, clunky, and generally a mess -- especially when, as word has it, the developers are changing the code base -- but I was pleasantly surprised by its stability and the dearth of issues.
Luckily, Mozilla has not made the mistake of fixing what ain't broke. Thunderbird 2.0 will still include free extensions to add functionality and themes to change the look and feel at your whim. The spam filter still catches most spam before it clogs your Inbox, and it still includes a terrific search function and built-in RSS. Mozilla has also made some welcome changes without breaking anything in the process, but there are features that could still use some work.
I downloaded the installation program and installed without an issue.
