MOZILLA THUNDERBIRD STABLE RELEASE FREE
MOZILLA THUNDERBIRD STABLE RELEASE WINDOWS

it's not like alot of changes didn't go in after the version rollover. Even the linux kernel, when going from 2.2 to 2.4 and from 2.4 to 2.6 was fairly arbirtrary. In the Open Source world, version numbers are somewhat irrelevant. You're deploying a 'technology preview' to 1500+ users? Thunderbird is great and all (I use it), but that's ballsy.Įh? I've always been stymied by people who view anything less than '1.0' as 'not ready for the enterprise' I'll keep trying it each time a new version comes out if they can fix these problems, I'll switch in a heartbeat. However, it's obvious that they put a lot of time into making it a really nice client, except for the absolute critical flaws that make it worthless to a lot of people. If KMail otherwise sucked, I wouldn't care. Sure, I can manually move messages around by clicking-and-dragging, but that just ain't gonna happen. In a corporate environment where the admins want us to leave mail on the server for backup purposes, this is a deal-breaker. Every single client I've used makes it easy to set filters so that I can mark a lot of messages in my inbox as spam, run one filter, and have all of them moved into - each, that is, but KMail. The Bayesian trainer on my email server works by reading messages in a particular folder in each user's IMAP setup and passing each of them into Spamassassin's trainer. Here, let me say that again: IMAP filtering. I read a lot of mailing lists, and I don't want to see the 10,000 messages in debian-user from 6 months ago. It seems like every other client on the planet does this, but not KMail.

I want a button to hide read messages.

What irritates me is that KMail is so close to being my ideal GUI client, but they completely dropped the ball on some critical features. KMail pissed me off so much recently that I wrote a little comparison of common Unix email clients. At least the VB runtime is maintained by more than one guy.

I don't think in most circles you'll get away with calling a (non-native) VB application a 'native' windows application either. > Otherwise we'll just have to say that all those old applications written in Visual Basic aren't Windows builds, they are VBRUN300.dll builds. Personally I can't understand why there isn't also a native port of the X11 client libs to windows either - the server has been implemented dozens of times over after all.

KDE should compile okay for MinGW, which can be said to truly be a Windows port, but its main problem is the availability of a free Qt: X11 only.

Apps running under cygwin have a hard heap limit (I have been screwed running perl over large datasets this way) as well as DLL relocation problems. It requires the (questionably licensed) cygwin DLL, so it essentially runs under the cygwin runtime, causing it to be brittle and slow slow slow. > a build for Cygwin is still a build for Windows. Why doesn't Ximian add support like this? I've tried the crystal icon hack for evolution, but it doesn't get all the icons, and ends up looking messy.

(as you can tell I hate the icons in evolution). I wish Ximian would release some Official icon sets, or at least have an official way to customize the icons of Evolution, like Thunderbird does. But the icons in evolution are just so BORING. But I do regular backups every day now, just in case. I would still be using it, if I hadn't one day corrupted my inbox by moving it to itself, and then trying to restore it.and erasing all my emails in my inbox. I like the gtk apps, but as long as I'm using kmail, I might as well just use the kde apps.Īctually I'm a long time user of evolution.

I could replace those with GTK apps (anjuta, bluefish, evolution or thunderbird), but I really like the responsiveness of the qt applications. I like kmail a lot, I just wish it wasn't so bloated with all the kde stuff. I'll have to give it a try, maybe once it gets on mandrake cooker I'll rebuild it. Granted, I haven't tried thunderbird 0.6 yet. Well, kmail still wins hands down thunderbird is really way too slow, the menus are sluggish, new emails take forever to open (On a AMD 2200+). I use kmail, and I really wanted to start using Thunderbird, because I use firefox all the time, and REALLY want to get away from KDE (I'm using XFce right now).
