Last fall, Mozilla released an update for its Thunderbird 1.0.7 that plugged several security holes.<\/p>\n<p>Thunderbird 1.5 also aims to bolster its RSS support by letting people receive feed updates as e-mail messages. People can now access podcasts through a dialog box, which is tied to an application such as a Web browser or audio player.<\/p>\n<p>Mozilla&#8217;s new release also includes productivity enhancements, such as spellcheck as e-mail is being written and an ability to delete attachments from e-mail.<\/p>\n<p>Thunderbird has been downloaded 18 million times since it debuted in December 2004, Mozilla said.<\/p>\n<p>(from <a href=\"http:\/\/news.zdnet.com\/\">ZDNet<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/news.zdnet.com\/2100-3513_22-6026357.html\">Mozilla&#8217;s Thundrbird 1.5 Takes Flight<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Unfortunately, Thunderbird is missing three essential features that prevent me from switching away from MS Outlook (and I would <strong>love<\/strong> to be able to switch away from Outlook, and remove the last vestiges of MS Office from my computers):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Integrated Calendar<\/li>\n<li>Integrated Task Manager<\/li>\n<li>Palm Hotsync support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mozilla released on Thursday its updated e-mail application, Thunderbird 1.5, which is designed to deliver improved security and functionality.
