Thunderbird makes e-mailing safer, faster, and easier with such features as intelligent spam filters, a built-in RSS reader, and quick search. Thunderbird was designed to prevent viruses and to stop junk mail so you can get back to reading your mail. Thunderbird provides effective tools for detecting junk mail. Its tools analyze your e-mail and identify those that are most likely to be junk. You can automatically have your junk mail deleted or you can put it in a folder you specify, just in case you like reading junk mail.

View your e-mail the way you want it. Access your e-mail with Thunderbird's new three-column view. Customize your toolbar, change its look with themes, and use Mail Views to quickly sort through your messages. Version 2.0.0.16 is fixing security issues.

Editor's review of Mozilla Thunderbird

E-mail Mozilla-style with this full-featured client. Following in the footsteps of Mozilla's Firefox browser, Thunderbird is a flexible e-mail client and RSS reader packed with features such as a powerful junk-mail filter, a clean interface, and enterprise-grade security.

Thunderbird handles both POP and IMAP accounts admirably with easy setup for Gmail and .Mac accounts among others. The program boasts stellar security features such as S/MIME, digital signing, and message encryption. Visually ahead of the game, Thunderbird's customizable interface is a joy to use, and this latest update feels leaner and more focused than earlier versions. We like the layout options, which allow us to view our mail in various columned arrangements. The message tagging tools make it easy to find important messages quickly.

Other little perks include message searching, saved-search folders, import tools, smart-address completion, labels, return receipts, and anti-phishing protection. Mac users looking for a solid alternative to Apple's Mail program will find Thunderbird to be a flexible and feature-rich choice.
