Mozilla Thunderbird 0.1 was relased today. See the Thunderbird 0.1 Release Notes for information on what's new, installation, and known issues. Great work, mscott!!
If you haven't tried Mozilla Thunderbird yet, I suggest you take the plunge. It's light and fast and does pretty much everything that Mozilla Mail does (including junk-mail filtering) along with a few great features of its own like a new 3-pane view and customizable toolbars. Thunderbird is based on current Mozilla Mail code so even though its version number is still very low, all of the core technologies are quite mature and I haven't had anything like dataloss with any of the recent Thunderbird nightly builds.
Posted by asa at July 28, 2003 11:45 AMYa know, it's a good program. However, I use an IMAP setup with server-side filtering and Thunderbird checks only the currently viewed folder for mail, not all the folders. This makes my mail experience tedious :/
Posted by: Kevin Breit on July 28, 2003 11:59 AMadd to your user.js:
// Check for new mail in ALL imap folders
user_pref("mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new", true);
I've been using user_pref("mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new", true); and all my folders still are not checked. This is the main issue with Tbird for me.
This must be the best 0.1 software ever. Stable and feature rich etc...
