Thunderbird 8.0 Beta 5

Thunderbird is a great email client from the same people who brought you the Firefox browser.

Thunderbird gives you IMAP/POP support, a built-in RSS reader, support for HTML mail, powerful quick search, saved search folders, advanced message filtering, message grouping, labels, return receipts, smart address book LDAP address completion, import tools, and the ability to manage multiple e-mail and newsgroup accounts.

The installation process is easy-to-follow, it only requires you to press a few ‘Next’ buttons, after which you can get started on managing your email identities.

Thunderbird sports a modern, yet user-friendly interface that concentrates all of the software’s functions in a few menus. Popular features such as writing a new email, chatting or search are made available from a quick access toolbar.

Managing email accounts with Thunderbird is really easy. You can open emails in new tabs, you can use labels to mark important messages and you can read news without ever leaving its interface.
