An anonymous reader writes "Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 is now available for download on Mozilla's FTP server." Here is the press release announcing the release. Virtual folders and RSS integration, coupled with the recent hype surrounding Firefox, might give this sucker some serious momentum.

(Frickin' two minute thingy completely infuriates me. Hey, Slashbots, some of us can think fast enough to write more than once good comment every two minutes. I suggest one minute (and 15 seconds for writing a comment, because quick witty responses don't always take 20 seconds. I'm really sick of "Slow down, cowboy." Wake up, CowboyNeal, et al, I'm not the usual mouth-breathing frost-pister type, I just type fast. Quit penalizing me for having a working brain!)

Stop posting to slashdot and get back to work. Lazy mother%*$£er.

Re:T-Bird is missing "Combine and Decode"

There is also flawed logic in the argument you use about running two e-mail clients. You say that "Usenet Newsgorups have not gained as much popularity as the rest of the internet" but then comment that running the two programs are "not a good idea for the average user" If Usenet isn't popular, then how many average users are going to be using it and missing the "Combine and Decode" feature? I would say that the average user would be happier with the spam blocking features in Thunderbird, then if they are interested in finding out more with newsgroups, they can use the basic features in Thunderbird. If they really want to start using the advanced features of Usenet, they can get a specific program for that then that does more than OE.
