One thing that I really appreciated about the setup process for the product was that Thunderbird automatically detected the server settings from the other email account that I entered.

That being said, let’s take a look at the things that make Thunderbird 3 more efficient than the past version. Upon trying Thunderbird, I found it to be vastly more efficient than using my web-based email on a daily basis.Īccording to Mozilla Messaging CEO David Ascher, “”If you look at the number of seconds saved over the population of Thunderbird users, it tends to be several lifetimes per year.” It’s nice to know that Thunderbird was developed with efficiency in mind. While Firefox is the browser I prefer to use, I had never thought of using Thunderbird until recently. Mozilla Thunderbird is an open source desktop email client (for Windows, Mac and Linux) that is based on the same basic principles as Firefox. However, one surprisingly pleasant desktop email client has been recently updated with several unique features. With Gmail and Hotmail garnering many clients, most people choose to use an web-based email client, instead. In the fast-paced world of technology, one of the things that has seemingly gone by the wayside is desktop email.

Email has evolved so much over the past few years that the services that were once predominant are no longer used as much, and some may be considered even obsolete.
