Thunderbird 1.1 Alpha1 Released

(Last Updated On: )

Thunderbird 1.1 Alpha1がリリースされたようです。

私もメールクライアントとして利用しています。RSSリーダとしては今ひとつなのですが、RSS/ATOMリーダの機能も強化されているようです。

Major new features in Thunderbird 1.1 Alpha 1 include a phishing detector, an improved spell checker (including inline as-you-type checking in the Compose window), support for removing attachments from received messages, enhanced RSS/Atom feed functionality (including support for podcasting) and a better user interface.

次のような機能強化が予定されているようです。
個人的には数十万メッセージあるフォルダでスレッド表示しても高速に表示されるようになって欲しいですね。
