Here are the highlights for this Thunderbird release:

* 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.

"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.

What's New
Here are the highlights for this release of Thunderbird:

* 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 Foudation'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.

Known Issues

The following is a list of the more visible known issues in Thunderbird 0.6. Please do not file bugs in Bugzilla for these issues. Also, please refer to this list before reporting bugs on new issues (this list will be updated).

* Important If you used a prior version of Thunderbird and installed themes OR extensions, you need to do the following or Thunderbird will NOT run properly. Find your profile directory. There should be a sub-directory called chrome. Remove everything in chrome. This will not affect your mail data or preferences. You will then need to re-install the 0.6 compatible version of any themes/extensions you want.
* To get the best possible experience from the new junk mail controls, we highly recommend that you re-train the filters from scratch. Tools > Junk Mail Controls > Adaptive Filters > Reset Training Data. Be sure to train an equal number of good and junk messages. We recommend several hundred messages of each.
* Linux: Thunderbird properly dispatches browser URLs to the default browser. Read more about how to hook this up.
* HTTP Proxy Authentication and Thunderbird. If your network uses proxy authentication for HTTP, Thunderbird fails to bring up an authentication dialog which keeps it from fetching the http parts through the proxy.
* The default dictionary is English-only. To add a non-English dictionary, read the installation instructions.
* The enable/disable option for adaptive junk mail detection appears to apply to all accounts (Tools > Junk Mail Controls > Adaptive Filters). It is, however, a per account option. To set the option for a specific account, choose the account in the 'Account:' dropdown on the 'Settings' panel, then switch to the 'Adaptive Filters' panel and set the option. Repeat per account as needed.
* Mozilla App-Suite profiles are not currently migrated to Thunderbird. You can migrate your Mozilla profile manually.
* The default theme is almost finished. There are still some Classic theme icons in the UI. Please do not file bugs about icons not being converted to the new theme.
* If you use the mailnews.reply_header_authorwrote preference, it no longer accepts HTML. It is a unicode pref and you can use a UTF-8 editor to add international characters.

CPU-optimized builds are appearing slowly, in the usual places ... pryan.org amd the mozillazine forums .... they might improve on the load time - I guess that's a regression they consider justified by the features?
