But there is still ample room for native desktop mailer, dedicated to those who prefer to keep and use their e-mail locally. If, on the one hand, His Majesty Outlook is preparing to debut edition "2010", on the other Mozilla Messaging has released a new version of its product: Thunderbird 3.0.

The build has many new features compared to the ancient branch of "2.0".

Procedure simplified setup of a new account

The wizard that allows you to configure Thunderbird to manage a mailbox has been greatly improved.

The function is able to self-configure the mailbox provided by many different providers: it is generally necessary to provide the address of the POP3 server, but only your email address and password for access.

Toolbar

The function "Reply" "Forward", "Delete" and "Mark as spam" is now integrated into every message.

Tabbed Interface

The setting to "tab", certainly among the factors that have contributed to decree the initial success of Firefox, Thunderbird arrives in

Just for the various independent windows open messages: it's all conveniently arranged in the main screen.

Smart Folders

The "clever Folders" are now on by default. These comfortable binders able to concentrate on a single screen messages stored in special folders, such as multiple inbox.

E-mail ... in short

Selecting more than one message, Thunderbird shows a short "summary" of its contents

Quite handy for those who are managing a lot of correspondence.

No more forgetful column headings

You can now set different columns, in which to display the different attributes of messages to individual folders.

In truth, this feature is also present in the previous edition 2.0, but showed some problems often persist among the various startup.

Funzionaltà storage

One of the most important features of the new version is the ability to archive messages already processed. Just folders super-crowded! A single click and everything is conveniently stored by date

If nothing else, this feature alone is reason enough to upgrade as soon as possible.

It should be noted however, that even in the final build, there seems to be due to a defect in which the storage is not properly divided the messages by year, but they crowd into a single folder related to the current year (?) . The problem can be easily fixed by installing the extension "Message Archive Options".

Activity Manager: the super-log is served

Firefox 3 offers an interesting system logs showing all actions taken by the application

A real godsend when the email does not work properly.

Mozilla Messaging can not ignore the widespread dissemination of Gmail now. Thunderbird 3.0 improves the possibility to access data stored on Google servers, better recognizing the special folders and archive.

Integration with Windows Search / Spotlight

During the installation process, Thunderbird binds to the search functionality of the operating system.

Users of Windows Vista (and presumably Windows 7 with XP or Windows update Windows Search 4.0) can then search for messages and contacts directly from the shell.

On Mac OS X, things are even better. In addition to integration with Spotlight, Thunderbird 3 interfaces with the system directory, can import data from Mail and use Growl to notify the arrival of new messages.

IMAP full speed ahead

The program promises to further optimized to effectively manage IMAP accounts: operations take place in the background, and you can enable or disable the feature for individual folders.

A new icon

The new version of Thunderbird also updates the distinctive image of the software. As in Firefox 3.5, it is a simple review of the previous image. The new dress dell'uccellaccio is fresh and modern, without affecting the previous setting. Remarkable.
