Thunderbird 2.0 is expected at the end of April

A new version of cross platform mail client Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0 Candidate will be released at the end of this week. Thunderbird 2.0 Release Candidate is considered to be the last intermediate “prerelease” version. Thunderbird is distributed for free, unlike to The Bat! Thunderbird among mail functions also has the function of news aggregator. The program supports SMTP, POP3, IMAP, NNTP, RSS protocols. The program is releasing for operating systems Windows including Vista, Mac OS X and Linux, and versions for different OS are being alike. The new version of the program has some additions: a closer integration with Gmail, new means of messages on the receipt of mail, new abilities to view messages. The main task of Thunderbird is not to overwhelm the user with information. Especially for this purpose they included the functions of message tagging and advanced search, the enhanced abilities of message viewing, and also new notice system on the receipt of e-mail. Tagging will be made by user himself. This will optimize the search time; if you often have to refer to the archives of e-mail. The advanced features of viewing allow you to fix the display of needed catalogs. Navigation system allows you to view the history of all correspondence messages, for example, such as in Gmail. If the user wants to fix Thunderbird for performance with Gmail and Mac, then the setups of POP and SMTP servers will be assigned automatically. Since Thunderbird is a product with open code, one of its advantages is the possibility of developing the extensions by exterior companies. At the moment, there are already expansions, which integrate contact managers, and other network tools in Thunderbird.
