Mozilla hatches Thunderbird 3 release candidate
Found on The Register on Tuesday, 24 November 2009
Mozilla Messaging on Wednesday conjured up the first release candidate for version 3.0 of their popular open source email and news client.
New toys in Thunder B3 include search with advanced filtering tools and auto-complete, tabbed email messages, a redesigned mail toolbar, smart folders, an improved address book, and a new add-ons manager.
After testing an older beta release, I decided not to update to it when Mozilla releases it. Smart folders messed everything up and I have never been a fan of a global inbox. Sure, you might be able to turn it off, but with a non-obvious solution users won't bother much. For now, I'll stick with my old release; simply because it does everything I want from an email client just fine.
