Title: Mozilla upgrades email client
Post by: Clive on April 19, 2007, 12:46

Mozilla, the open-source software company best known for its Firefox web browser, has officially launched Thunderbird 2.0, an upgraded version of its email application.

Available to download for free from the Mozilla website, Thunderbird 2.0 can be configured to work with web-based email services such as Google's Gmail.

One new feature in Thunderbird 2.0 is the ability to tag messages so they can be easily organised and found.

?In Thunderbird 2, we incorporated the proven benefits of tagging to email. Tagging initially gained popularity on blogs, photo and link-sharing sites as an intuitive way to organise online information so users could easily find desired content,? said Scott MacGregor, lead engineer for Thunderbird at Mozilla.

Other improvements include new security features customisable 'skins', so you can change the look and feel of the application. Thunderbird 2.0 is cross-platform so will work on PC, Mac and Linux-based operating systems.
