Mozilla Thunderbird is a redesign of the Mozilla mail component. The goal is to produce a cross platform stand alone mail application using the XUL user interface language. The intended customer is someone who uses Mozilla Firefox (or another stand alone browser) as their primary browser and wants a mail client based on mozilla that "plays nice" with the browser.

    This is exactly what it claims to be, a light weight E-mail client for the "average" user as an adjunct to Firefox. It does what it says it will very cleanly and with out a lot of bells and whistles.

    I find it hard to believe Thunderbird still can't display compact multiline headers in the message tree, with From, Date and Subject spread over two lines for those who do not have widescreen monitors. Becky can do it. EmClient can do it. What are we waiting for?

    And I was astonished to find I could not easily set up a filter to automatically reply to an incoming mail with a specific subject. There's probably a plugin for that. If I could be bothered trawling through the list. And if I wanted to trust my mail program to an unaudited plugin developer.

    Last but certainly not least, in Becky I can split my mail database into 1 file per mail (with attachments detached). I can read these files in a standard text editor. If one file gets corrupted I lose just one mail. Not the whole databse.

    Thunderbird on the other hand, like Outlook, uses one big proprietary database format. One byte corrupted and you're screwed. I've seen it happen. But at least you can download colourful personalities for Thunderbird. That's a huge plus for this Facebook generation.

    Impressed & simple & a breeze to setup & use, if you need more features look elsewhere though.
