I missed the new version for two months... sorry if this has already
been stated.
This is a pretty large program (~7.5 meg Win d/l) and older systems
might not run it as well as my newer system does. I really, really
like this email program though, after using Netscape v4.79 Mail since
it came out.
This program:
Will not allow any executions (worms, virus, etc.) within the program.
The user must save an attachment and execute it by normal means.
HTML is sanitized. No web bugs, links to external photos, etc. occur.
Has an exceptional spam filtering. After training the program for a
week or two very little, if any, spam will find its way to your
screen.
Has versions for Windows, Linux and Mac. This version includes
features to share mailboxes within dual boot systems.
Never trashcans a message from anyone in your address book (white
listing).
Rocks.

"Upgraders: DO NOT install Mozilla Thunderbird into a directory
containing program files from a previous version. Overwriting files
from a previous release WILL cause problems. To re-use the directory
of a previous install, the directory must be deleted and recreated,
emptied, moved, or renamed. You should not file bugs in Bugzilla if
you choose to ignore this step."
"New Features:
We now support the notion of multiple identities per mail account.
This makes it easy to have several email addresses which end up going
into the same account. Read More about how to hook this up.
Thunderbird 0.5 includes Secure Password Authentication using a new
cross-platform NTLM authentication mechanism for POP3 and SMTP.
Option to turn on the Mozilla 1.x style folder columns in Thunderbird
(Tools / Options / Advanced / General Settings).
A new Palm Sync Address book conduit is now available for 0.5. You can
now do a one way sync, PC -> Palm or Palm -> PC, by changing the hot
sync conduit setup. We now prevent duplicate cards in Thunderbird
address books when syncing with Palm categories. Numerous improvements
with the initial sync.
A new, improved version of the offline extension is now available for
0.5. Please read the installation notes in this document about how to
first uninstall old extensions.
Improved Spell Checker including a new US dictionary.
Ability to paste names or addresses from a spreadsheet directly into
the addressing widget of a new compose window.
Improved profile migration from Netscape 4.x.
Recently Fixed Bugs
If a new message arrives while you are reading a message, we no longer
scroll the message body back to the top.
When saving an IMAP attachment, we no longer re-download the
attachment from the server.
Saving an attachment now brings up a standalone progress window.
Copying a message to a Sent Folder now shows progress in the progress
window.
When saving or opening an attachment, the progress dialog now reports
accurate progress information.
We now mark IMAP messages read in a folder if they are deleted or
moved to another folder. This fixes incorrect unread counts when
checking folders other than the Inbox for new messages.
LDAP searches now honor the directory search filter property.
Ability to paste a single cell of data from Microsoft Excel into the
compose window body.
Problems with IMAP folders three levels deep not showing up when you
are not using the IMAP subscription model.
Tools / Options / Attachments / Attachment Folder setting is now
remembered.
Linux builds no longer crash when viewing HTML messages requiring a
JAVA plugin.
Improved handling of apple double encoded attachments from OSX
clients.
No more new mail alert notifications when all incoming messages are
Junk.
"Remove from server after x days" has been implemented for POP3 mail
accounts.
Performance Improvements
Faster folder loading.
Improved Stability and Polish
This release is based on the Mozilla App-Suite 1.6 final branch and
includes all of the stability work that went into Mozilla 1.6."
