Thunderbird 1.5

Category: Mozilla: Browser of the Gods

Thursday, January 12, 2006

The latest version of Mozilla's great e-mail program, Thunderbird 1.5, is out and ready for download.

Notable improvements include:

Thunderbird now has the same automated-update capability as Firefox; this means patches and new versions can be streamed right to your desktop - no more go-to-mozilla-download-the-latest-version-uninstall-the-old-version-install-the-new-version tango required to stay current.
Thunderbird's RSS features now include support for podcasts.
Spam filtering can now be plugged into a server-side spam filter for greater accuracy.
Google Maps support built into the Address Book.
"Phishing" (god I hate that word) detector built in, to stop identity theft.
Spell-check as you type.
Search folders can now search across more than one account.
Lots of security fixes.
And more -- full list here.
