Mozilla Messaging team has released Thunderbird 3.0 after several months in development. Here are some new features in Thunderbird 3.0.
Tabs and Search
Thunderbird 3.0 introduces tabs that lets you load emails in separate tabs so you can quickly jump between them.
Search results open in a new tab too. You can search based on timelines, whether it’s the one from yesterday, last month, or several years ago.
Add-on Management
Thunderbird brings the Firefox add-on management to Thunderbird which lets you search and install add-on directly from add-on manager.
Account setup
It’s easier to set email accounts in Thunderbird 3.0. All you have to provide is your name, email address and password. Thunderbird will add the server information. This will work for most emails. I have tried with my GMail and Google Apps accounts and it worked fine.
If you are using Thunderbird 2.x, you can easily upgrade by going to Help – Check for updates. I upgraded mine and it’s working without any problem so far.
