Thunderbird 2.0
A brand new version of Thunderbird has been released. Finally! Version 2.0 adds new features, improvements, and stability over the older 1.5x versions. A list of features can be read here. I have upgraded and it feels a little tighter to me. Though, I am having trouble finding much of a difference in the feature set over the prior version. I had a hard time trying to create Search Folders that would show up as a folder in the Local Folders to show only starred or unread messages. I finally figured it out. You have to create search terms for your mailbox and then choose to save those options as an entire folder. This needs to be a little easier, but I am very thankful the feature is finally included in the program. The on-the-fly spell checking that was rolled out with version 1.5 continues in version 2.0. That one feature makes this program a true winner. Thunderbird is a solid email application. I would suggest for anyone over Outlook Express.
