Thunderbird, the open source mail client from Mozilla, has just been updated to version 5.0 bringing more stability, speed and features to users.
Amongst the most important improvements are a new Gecko 5 engine, new Add-ons Manager and a revised account creation wizard to improve email setup.
Tabbed messaging, one of Thunderbird’s strongest features, now supports reordering and dragging tabs into different windows. Attachment sizes are now displayed along with attachments, plugins can now be loaded in RSS feeds by default and there are several theme fixes for Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Mac users can now enjoy support for 32 and 64 bit Universal builds but Thunderbird no longer supports PPC Macs. Altogether, Mozilla claim there have been over 390 platform fixes that improve speed, performance, stability and security.
