Download Now - Free (English (US) | Other Systems and Languages)
I've been using Thunderbird for a gazillion years now. Up to now it's been because I can't stand Outlook (or it's retarded younger sibling Outlook Express.)
I've put up with it's foibles and had a wish list of things it would do for me, but never got around to sending that wish list to the developers.
Apparently they got hold of the wish list anyway. (Spoooky!)
My favorite features:
1. Smart folders: I can view email coming into the 13 (good thing I'm not supersticious!) accounts I have to monitor from one smart folder while leaving the actual emails in their own physical folders.
2. Awesome Search capabilities! You really have to try it to believe it. It's a bit slow at first if you have thousands of emails (like I do!) on your hard drive. But after indexing it's pretty darn quick. The best part: You can actually act on the search results as a list! (Didn't use to have that.)
If you like open source and are looking for a more robust way of managing the flood of emails, this is it!
