Read and backup all of your news feed and blog subscriptions without using a separate program.If you use Gmail on a laptop, this sure beats Gmail Offline. This action makes Thunderbird a great tool for backing up your emails locally for offline use at a later time. Thunderbird 3 by default incorporates automatic synchronization of all email messages in your online account every 10 minutes. If you want one sole reason to download Thunderbird, it’s the synchronization feature combined with the exceedingly fast speed of Thunderbird.Activity Manager lets you track all of the histories of actions and changes made while using Thunderbird 3.There are several new add-ons available for version 3, but some of the old add-ons persist to be the top downloaded. Just like Firefox, Mozilla has integrated the use of third-party add-ons for use with Thunderbird.With the speed of Thunderbird, this method for quickly finding emails can prove much faster than logging into the Gmail web interface or waiting for Outlook. For Vista and Windows 7 users, Thunderbird can integrate directly with Windows Search so you can find and open emails from your start menu. Along with unique terms, you can also apply different filters to help narrow down the search even further. Advanced Search and Filters let you globally search all of your messages for the terms you want.This feature is no surprise coming from the company that brought us Firefox. Tabbed browsing allows you to read through your emails just like an internet browser.Here’s a brief look at just a few of the key features that I noticed with Thunderbird 3. There is currently not another email program with the same performance time with matching features.
Possibly the greatest feature of Thunderbird as mentioned above is its speed (#2 being it’s price :). The new version seems designed with web-based email integration in mind, specifically Gmail.
The features you’ll find in Thunderbird aren’t as extensive as Office Outlook, but by no means does that mean it’s a pushover.
Interested in taking it for a test-drive as you read along? Download the latest version of Thunderbird straight from Mozilla. Leaving all the hard technical work completely out of the picture, I’m going to call it: “plug-n-play” email. The setup file itself is only 8.5 MB in size, which should take less than a minute to download on most current internet connection speeds! Once installed, Thunderbird will immediately prompt you for your account information you’ll use with Thunderbird (GMAIL, etc.) Just like in Windows Live Mail, you can expect Thunderbird to auto-configure your settings to get you up and running with the email provider.
