Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2 Released

Posted by simoniker on from the thunderbird-is-go dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla Thunderbird 0.2 is out! For those who haven't heard about it yet, Mozilla Thunderbird is mozilla.org's new standalone mail client and sister product to Mozilla Firebird. According to MozillaZine's article on the release, new features include 'a redesigned Options dialogue, spell checker improvements, enhancements to the default theme and better performance and stability'. More information can be found at the Mozilla Thunderbird Project Page and in the release notes (which include the important information that a clean install is vital). Builds are available for Windows (7.3Mb), Mac OS (11.1Mb) and Linux (9.5Mb) or you can download the source (29.1Mb) and build it yourself for extra geek points."

    Something obvious as "Mailer" and "Browser" - still "Browser" is too obscure - let's call it "Internet" and the mailer app - just "Mail"... Even smarter than "Wodr". But "Excell" is kinda stupid - what does it means? And "Outlook"? Don't even ask... Yeah I know - /me trollin ;-)

    Also, it requires access to a working Exchange Server, which isn't exactly cheap...

    Huh? EXPENSIVE? HOW ABOUT FREE! To quote Homer Simpson when he decided to steal cable television and Marge asked if they could afford it, "Zero dollars a month? Yeah, I think we can swing it!"

    1) Download FREE three month full trial at http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/

    2) Install ontop of FREE Windows 2003 Server evaluation, inside your favorite free VMWare wanna-be emulator. Save image of clean install.

    3) Enjoy. Feel free to reload saved clean install image for continuous testing on free Exchange server.

    ...or easy to get working in the first place.

    4) If you can't get a default install of Exchange server running, you shouldn't be programming for it.
