A great email client by Mozilla

Thunderbird, known as Minotaur when it was first developed, is a free email client, that allows the user to manage, send and receive emails from a pleasant and very easy-to-use interface. Another key feature is that it is a very lightweight client, and it hardly uses system resources.

Furthermore, Thunderbird includes several functions that make it a very complete email manager. The main features of Thunderbird are:

• Possibility to manage multiple email accounts.
• Advanced folder viewing and message tagging.
• Two message search methods: advanced search or quick search.
• Browse the message history.
• Access to news services by means of RSS.
• Support for POP, IMAP or **web-**based accounts.
• Possibility to create different user profiles.
• Make backup copies of the profiles.
• Phishing protection.
• Modify the interface by using themes.
• Possibility to add new features by adding extensions.

Thunderbird is Mozilla's alternative to other more traditional email clients.
