Asa brought my attention to Mozilla Thunderbird’s progress. Mozilla Thunderbird is growing extremely fast. It’s nice to see, since Mozilla Mail is not something I would ever want to use, it’s simply too bloated and is not standalone.

One of the reasons I haven’t used Thunderbird up until now is that the theme was really bad, but from a screenshot posted by asa, it’s looking rather good. They do however need to change the folder-graphics. But it’s growing fast and looking good. The filesize is really high, lets hope that changes when the new Mozilla Roadmap is implemented :)

So I’m installing it now, I doubt I will use it that much since
1) It doesn’t have an win32 installer
2) I’ll be using KMail when I switch to redhat, it looks better :)

Update: Ok, if Thunderbird makes a few changes to the behavior of the program, I could easily end up using it as my default client… But right now… It does some strange stuff, and lacks a few important features

About Thunderbird
1) Get rid of all old icons
2) Much better Options window (needs icons)
3) Redesign menu-look, make sure it doesn’t feel like the bloated Mozilla Mail
