Hands-on: Thunderbird 3 beta 4 hatches with improved search
Mozilla Messaging has been hard at work incubating the next major version of the Thunderbird mail client. A new beta release that was made available this week includes some nice user interface improvements and an extremely impressive new system for searching through messages.
Mozilla Messaging was spun off of the Mozilla Foundation in 2007 and established as a subsidiary with $3 million in seed funding. Run by former ActiveState CTO David Ascher, its mandate is to advance Thunderbird and build a new generation of messaging tools based on Mozilla's technology. The Thunderbird 3 roadmap began to coalesce in early 2008 shortly after Mozilla Messaging got pushed out of the nest and the first alpha arrived several months later.
One of the major goals of Thunderbird 3 is to boost usability by simplifying configuration, making commonly-used features more accessible, and providing more flexibility for interacting with messages and other kinds of content.
