Thunderbird is a cross-platform e-mail and news client developed by the Mozilla Foundation. It has been modelled after Mozilla Firefox. Thunderbird is not a personal information manager. Extensions allow additional functionality as and when required.

Message Management

Thunderbird manages multiple e-mail and newsgroup accounts. And, it can also support multiple identities within accounts. Some of the features are quick search, advanced message filtering, and message grouping.

Junk Filtering

Thunderbird comes with an inbuilt spam filter, and can also understand classification provided by filters such as Spam Assassin.

Extensions

Extensions allow the addition of features through the installation of XP Install modules (known as XPI or zippy installation). For example, Enigmail uses Open PGP for message encryption.

Junk Mail Filter

Thunderbird’s advanced mail filtering keeps on updating its process to more rigorous levels over a period of time. It also protects the user form phishing.

Customizing Thunderbird

You can change the entire look, feel and functionality of Thunderbird through the themes and extensions available at the Mozilla Update site.
