After Installation :
Thunderbird is a desktop email client, an alternative to Microsoft's Outlook, from the developers of Firefox.
Thunderbird is Mozilla's award winning and free solution to manage
your mail more efficiently. And there are many advantages of switching
to it too. Unlike Mail for example, it can handle virtual identities and
create on-the-fly addresses and it's widely regarded as having one of
the best spam filters out there. Most recently, it's been updated with a
slick tabbed interface to make managing your e-mail easier.
The fact that like Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird can be beefed up with
all manner of extensions makes it an extremely competitive mail client.
It's also now much faster and more stable than before due to the Gecko 5
engine.
Searching your mail
The search tool in Thunderbird is excellent and searches happen in
real time as you type. Search results are displayed in a separate tab.
Tabs in general are a very big part of Thunderbird and like Firefox, you
can have multiple messages open in separate tabs. This is a fantastic
feature of Thunderbird although does tempt you to have too many mails
open at once. Archiving is also another handy feature for those that
don't want to delete messages but want to clear space in their inbox.
So what about security? You might think an open-source mail client
would inherently be less secure than a paid one but Thunderbird is
surprisingly secure with a fairly bulletproof spam filter. The reason
being is that Thunderbird is regularly updated and crafted by volunteers
who's main interest is making a better product rather than profiting
from an end-product. Security updates are regular but small so as not to
slow-down Thunderbird.
