New features Quoted from

Here are the highlights for this release of Thunderbird:
<q>
* Windows Installer
Thunderbird now comes with an installer for Windows making it
easier than ever to start using Thunderbird!
* New Default Theme on Mac OS X
The new Pinstripe theme fits in with the look of Mac OS X.
* Improved Junk Mail Controls
The algorithm for the adaptive junk mail controls has been
heavily redesigned to learn faster and catch more spam.
* New Brand Identity
To be consistent with the Mozilla Foundation's goal of brand
identity, Thunderbird has a new logo and supporting artwork thanks to
the fine work of the Mozilla Visual Identity team.
* Other New Features...
IMAP users can now benefit from support for the IMAP IDLE command
which allows the mail server to push notifications such as new mail
arriving as soon as it arrives.
Thunderbird supports server-wide news filters that apply to all
newsgroups on a server.
Thunderbird includes Secure Password Authentication using a new
cross-platform NTLM authentication mechanism for IMAP, POP3 and SMTP.
Mail filters can now mark messages as junk.
Offline support is an optional download component in the Windows
installer and is no longer a separately-downloaded extension.
Mac OS X users now get new mail notification in the system dock.
The DOM Inspector is an optional download component in the
Windows installer for theme authors.
Tools > Options > Compose > HTML Options allows you to set up
default HTML compose options such as font, size and color.
Attachments can be opened directly from the compose window to
verify their contents before sending.
Thunderbird now supports the notion of multiple identities per
mail account. This makes it easy to have several e-mail addresses which
end up going into the same account. Read More about how to set this up.
* Recently Fixed Bugs
In the case of a failure when copying a message to an online Sent
folder, Thunderbird will now ask if you would like it to try again.
0.6 on Windows includes several improvements to Simple MAPI that
allow it to work with older versions of Microsoft Office.
Pasting data from an OpenOffice.org spreadsheet no longer pastes
random HTML garbage before the actual spreadsheet data into HTML compose.
Fixed several situations where LDAP connections were left open
when using LDAP auto complete or performing searches on LDAP directories.
Improved view source behavior.
Mail notification for POP3 messages that are marked deleted or
marked read by mail filters no longer occurs.
The "Mark All Read" keyboard shortcut now works for Linux GTK2.
