It's an alpha.

The headline is misleading - this is Mozilla 1.2 Alpha. See the roadmap for full details on the numbering scheme and release schedule.

1.0.1 was also released recently. This is a bugfix release for those people using 1.0 who don't want to upgrade to 1.1final or 1.2alpha.

Re:Can i use ANY mail software?

[Mr.Strange]

Yes you can.

Put the following line in prefs.js, which is in your Mozilla profile directory.

user_pref("network.protocol-handler.external.mai lt o", true);
