Highlights

Here are some of the new features to look for in Thunderbird:

Adaptive Junk Mail Controls

RSS Integration

Saved Search Folders

Saved Search Folders display messages based on previously set search criteria. For example,
instead of filtering messages into a new folder, you can create a
Saved Search Folder that lists all the messages received from a certain
person over the past 30 days, even if those messages are stored in
different folders and subfolders.

Global Inbox Support

POP3 users can now combine all of their POP3 accounts into a single global inbox
under local folders.

Message Grouping

You can now group messages in a
folder by attributes such as date, sender, priority or a custom label. For instance,
a folder grouped by date will group messages from today, yesterday, last week, etc. into self-contained
groups in the message list pane. (View > Sort By > Grouped By Sort)

Privacy Protection

In order to help protect your privacy, Thunderbird now automatically blocks remote image
requests in emails from senders you
don't know.

Comprehensive Mail Migration from other Mail Clients

Switching to Thunderbird has never been easier since Thunderbird can now migrate
all of your email data including settings, mail folders and address book data from common mail applications
such as the Mozilla 1.x Suite, Outlook Express, Outlook and Eudora.
