You all know that I am a big support of the Mozilla Firefox browser, right? Been using it for a few months now and it’s great!

I have also been toying with T Bird, which is the new Mozilla email client. I’ve been using MS products for a very long time for email, it serving my needs quite nicely, thankyouverymuch. I started using tbird on my laptop to start with, to get used to it. This process took a bit longer than getting used to Firebird/Firefox, but it has been worth it.

Thunderbird does everything a descent email client is supposed to do:
~Supports multiple email accounts
~Supports filters
~Built-in Spellchecking
AND, what is probably the best feature
~Built-in junk mail filtering, that actually works!

Yes, you read that correctly. Junk mail filtering built into the email client that works. It has to learn what you think junk mail is, but after about a day it’s working great and continues to improve as you continue to teach it!

Also, like the Fire browser, Tbird doesn’t hook into windows like OE or Outlook, which means that the chances of firing off a virus infected email is greatly reduced. Norton AV also recognizes it and scans email to make sure as well.

If you are tired of using either Outlook’s for email, then this would be worth the download!
