Thunderbird upgraded itself the other day. Ever since, I’ve been rather pleased with it.

I went from Opera (too clunky and non-OSX-like) to Mail.app (too slow and no newsgroup support) to Thunderbird ages ago, and whilst it was pretty decent, it was always a little bit out of place. Now, with 2.0.0.6, it’s more harmoneously styled, snappier and has a few nice features like filtering “recent” and “favourite” folders and really useful “Back” and “Forward” buttons (otherwise known as the “oops, didn’t mean to mark that message as read and move on to the next one, where was it again?” button).

Thunderbird also has decent keyboard shortcuts and works very well as a general mail and news reader. Well done Mozilla. :)

    I like the new email notification feature down by the system clock that tells you who it’s from and first part of message. Now I don’t feel compelled to stop what I’m doing every time an email comes in just to see if it’s something important.

    I assume that’s a Wintendo feature :)
