Mozilla Thunderbird 0.6 Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stopping-spam-and-looking-good dept.

KonijnenBunny writes "May 3rd sees the release of the 0.6 version of Mozilla's Thunderbird e-mail and newsgroup client, featuring improved junk-mail controls and a new brand identity, including a new Firefox-style icon. I switched from some murky client which didn't exactly have a bright outlook regarding spam to Thunderbird a while back and was not dissapointed. Grab this latest version at Mozilla.org." Mac OS X users can also enjoy the new Pinstripe theme, which matches the previous theme of the same name applied to Firefox.

    I would have thought that they would have renamed it to fit in with Firefox. Thunderfox isn't that bad a name, is it?

      Not bad. But I think the male geeks out there need something a little more manly. Like, say, ThunderCougarFalconBird.

      Car Salesman: Spotted her the moment you came in, didn't you? She's a real beauty.
      Fry: Yup, she's beautiful coffee alright.
      Salesman: No, the Ford ThunderCougarFalconBird! Nothing makes you feel more like a man than a ThunderCougarFalconBird! So how much were you thinking of spending on this ThunderCougarFalconBird?
      Fry: Sorry, I'm not here to buy.
      Salesman: I understand, and it's great that you don't care if anyone questions your sexual orientation.
      Fry: I care! I care plenty! I just don't know how to make them stop!
      Salesman: One word: ThunderCougarFalconBird.

      Continuing with the creatures of the forest theme (bird, fox) I nominate Thunderbunny as the new name.

    That's geekspeak for Outlook Express, if I remember.

      No, a true geek refers to it as Outbreak Express

      When I worked at Microsoft we called it Lookout.

    I am sure your date will go really well if you inform the cute girl that you equal her asking you out, with a "technology preview" of a mail-reader.

    No, outlook isn't very bright.
