Most of Thunderbird 3 Beta's Changes Are Under the Hood
Wed, Mar 4th, 2009 |
Thunderbird 3 Beta 2, a preview release of the upcoming version 3 of the free e-mail program, will look entirely familiar to anyone using Mozilla's excellent Thunderbird 2. It showcases a few new features, such as archiving and a new activity manager, but most of the changes are under the hood.
The new Archive feature (inspired by Gmail) automatically moves a message to an archive folder when you hit "A" with a message open or select Message | Archive. The archives folder layout sorts messages by year, with subfolders for each month.
