Why I Won’t Be Trying Thunderbird 3
(or how I learned to stop worrying and love Apple Mail)
Yesterday saw the release of Thunderbird 3 (UK-specific link), the first major update to Mozilla’s email application in nearly three years. I’ve been a staunch supporter of Firefox, their flagship web browser, since it was first released in 2004. Thunderbird and I, by contrast, have enjoyed only the briefest of relationships (a fling sometime during the summer of 2005), so I thought I’d explore why this is, and why — sadly — I don’t feel at all compelled to give its latest version a try.
