If you've been avoiding Thunderbird 3 because you prefer not to roll with beta or RC code, we have good news. The latest version of Mozilla's open source email client has gone gold and is ready for download.
Mozilla touts its latest email client as faster, more flexible, and more secure than previous generations, and it's also more robust. Thunderbird 3 brings tabbed email to the table, as well as a new search interface with filtering and timeline tools.
Other features include the ability to archive old email, better management of multiple email accounts with Smart Folders, an integrated add-ons manager, and a new look and feel with lightweight skins available.

I switched to GMail several months ago, not wanting to use bloated Outlook on my home computer. But were it not for one unique feature that Outlook does and Thunderbird doesn't do, I would totally use the hell out of Thunderbird. It's the way Outlook displays message info in the message pane when using the vertical reading pane layout. When you shrink the message pane enough it stacks the sender, subject, date, etc. on multiple lines. Thunderbird just shrinks the columns and keeps them on the same row, rendering that information illegible unless you constantly resize the reading pane. It's maddening! That's the one and only feature I wish they would add to Thunderbird.
