The success of Mozilla's free Firefox web browser (see previous web log entries) is helping pave the way for their next big release: an e-mail software to replace Microsoft's Outlook Express. Called Thunderbird, the first version is currently being targeted at consumers.
Among its features, Thunderbird 1.0 provides a user-controlled spam filter, a built-in RSS reader for web logs, and a new way to manage and filter e-mail messages. It also can be used as a client for a range of popular, Web-based e-mail services such as the premium version of Yahoo Mail and Google Inc.'s Gmail that support POP3.
I haven't tried it yet, but plan on doing so soon. The fact that it has a built-in spam filter makes it worthwhile to consider. If you would like to try it yourself for free, go to:
