April 19, 2007 at 09:41Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.0 First Impressions
Congratulations to all users of the Mozilla Thunderbird email client with the release of the second version. For those who have not yet decided on the transition from version 1.5, I describe their first impressions.
Installation on Windows went without any problems, all mailboxes and address books were successfully picked up from the previous version.
The bird takes off faster now - it takes less than two or three seconds to load. The new theme looks somewhat unusual, but quite harmonious. We were pleased with the new alerts about the arrival of letters - now there is a larger window and the list of addresses, the header and the beginning of the message fit in it.
The ability to move back and forth has not yet come in handy, but if you need to rummage through several letters located in different mailboxes and written at any time, I think I’ll go back and forth instead of opening a bunch of windows.
I noticed from the pleasant that he now calmly opens investments in attachments. That is, you can open .eml from an already open .eml. Version 1.5 for some reason simply did not open such investments. Now I’m distracted from writing a letter - it was automatically saved in the “drafts” folder, while the editing window remained. A trifle, but nice. I was pleased with the search for messages in the style of Fire Fox, but still I hope Mozilla will not combine the two products into one.
Now I'm waiting for Fire Fox 3.0 and Mozilla Desktop.
