Perhaps you're responding to an email and need to refer back to an earlier email. Tabbed email lets you load emails in separate tabs so you can quickly jump between them. If you like Firefox's tabbed browsing, you're going to love tabbed email. The integrated RSS feed reader extends these abilities to news. Though not perfect, a scam sensor detects tactics commonly used to fool users.įlexible views, free-form tags and powerful filters, search and virtual folders (which also work fine with IMAP accounts and across email accounts) make it a snap to handle large amounts of mail. Combine these two aspects of Thunderbird, and you get a sensible feature that automatically sanitizes (potentially dangerous) HTML code and turns off remote images for spam or anything else - worms, viruses - you classify as bad mail.

Not only is Thunderbird a secure email client, a sophisticated and very well integrated Bayesian spam filter knocks out most junk mail (after some training).

It offers a pretty and streamlined interface to a very powerful email package. It lets you handle mail efficiently and with style, and Thunderbird filters away junk mail too.

Thunderbird is developed, tested, translated and supported by the folks at Mozilla Corporation and by a group of dedicated volunteers. It is a local (rather than a web-based) email application that is powerful yet easy-to-use. Thunderbird is a free, open-source, cross-platform application for managing email and news feeds.
