Thunderbird Finds It Hard To Mimic Firefox's Rapid Rise, Says Report: A report has been released which indicates that Thunderbird is not flourishing the way Firefox is.

New Thunderbird Release
Mozilla Thunderbird: Thunderbird 0.4 is out. The attachment icon (the paper clip) has been broken out to its own column (instead of being overlad on the envelope you could never see it) so you can sort on it now, and the envelope now includes "forwarded" and "replied" arrows like ...

Thunderbird Annoyance
I use Thunderbird exclusively at home for mail and RSS feeds. It feels lightweight and it does everything I need it to (I don't schedule many meetings outside of work so I don't miss a calendar, for instance). But there are a few things about this application that really irk ...

Lightning: Mozilla Strikes Again
Given the growing success of Firefox, a new Mozilla-based project code-named 'Lightning' may be worth keeping an eye on.

RSS Aggregation Models
It struck me last night that there are two models of RSS aggregation: "real-time" and "stored" (yes, I just made those two terms up...). Real-time are aggregators like Mozilla's Sage extension. This model goes and gets the feed real time and displays it on-demand. In a lot of ways, they're ...

Switching to Web Mail
I've decided to make the switch to pure Web mail. It's been a long time coming. About three years ago, I got sick of having to sync a POP account in two locations, so I switched to IMAP. I've loved that set-up ever since. I have an account at Fusemail, ...
