By Fast, reliable, safe and trustworthy are the things that describe Thunderbird best. One of the best e-mail programs out there, you can always count on it when you want to read your e-mails safely. Developed and distributed by Mozilla, Thunderbird is offered for free and is available for Windows, Mac and Linux computers.
Thunderbird is easy to install and will only require your e-mail account and password to connect you to all those messages waiting for you. Not only its portability makes it easy to use on other computers, but it won’t save any of your personal information if you don’t want it to. But wherever you are working from, you will get quick access to your contacts and your messages.
Thunderbird 5.0 Interface
Having the capabilities of an advanced e-mail program, Thunderbird includes such features as allowing you to add contacts directly from the messages you receive, and remind you to add an attachment whenever you use that word, a similar one in your e-mail, or words related to file types. For example, if you write in your e-mail “I have attached the photos we took on holiday.”, you will be reminded to attach files until you send the e-mail, if you haven’t done it already.
Furthermore, Thunderbird is a versatile program that offers you: tabbed e-mailing – just like Mozilla Firefox has; advanced search with filters and timeline tools to find your e-mails faster; and message archiving if you don’t like a cluttered inbox, but you also don’t want to delete your e-mails. Moreover, Thunderbird is easy to customize and manage, offering you skins and themes to change its interface and icons. Besides that, the smart folder feature will allow you to use several e-mail accounts at the same time and combines their inbox, sent, draft, and other folders.
With Thunderbird you know you will also be safe from those annoying e-mails most of us get bombarded with constantly. Its last generation junk tools filter important e-mail from spam and learns in time where it made mistakes. And if this is not the most important part for an e-mail program, then what is?
