Message Grouping allows you to organize e-mail in a folder by grouping them based on various attributes like Date, Sender, Label, etc. Thunderbird 0.9 also includes numerous bug fixes and other improvements.

  1. Version after version, none works by galay · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I've waited 0.6 0.7 0.8 now 0.9, yet junk mail still doesnt get deleted in my junk folder (although the prefs are set to delete them after 1 day). Bug report here as confirmed by many (even screenshots). https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24046 8 See, this is exactly the problem with F/OSS, features get added as if its a race to beat someone (maybe it is, who knows), while the original basic set of features/bugs are ignored. Quite disappointing to see that we arent really moving forward at all, always playing a catch up.

  2. Why aren't they shipping them already? by geg81 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Whether Apple wants to announce support for industry-standard features in their apps before they are ready to ship them is really for Apple management to decide. I actually think they should stop announcing features before they are ready to ship them.

    The real question one has to ask is why Apple isn't already shipping these features. According to Apple, isn't Cocoa such a super-productive platform that implementing and testing such features should be really easy? So, why is it taking them so long to provide features that many other mail clients have had for a while?
