Scott MacGregor of Team Thunderbird writes in with news of the release of Mozilla Thunderbird 2: “Thunderbird 2 is now available for download on Windows, Mac and Linux in over 35 languages. Thunderbird 2 offers easy ways to manage and organize your email with message tags, advanced folder views, message history navigation, find as you type, and improved new mail alert notifications. Thunderbird 2 also includes a refreshed user interface and support for Microsoft Vista.

“Thunderbird 1.5.0.x users will be offered Thunderbird 2 via software update at a later date. Those wishing to upgrade now are therefore advised to download and install Thunderbird 2 manually.

“The Thunderbird 2 features page has more details about the new features in Thunderbird 2. The Thunderbird 2 Release Notes have more specific information. The Rumbling Edge has a list of notable bug fixes in Thunderbird 2.

“We also want to extend a huge thanks to everyone in the MozillaZine community for their help and support with Thunderbird 2 over the past year. We wouldn’t have been able to release Thunderbird without you.

Read/WriteWeb reports that Thunderbird 2.0 will be out by the end of this month, with a final release candidate due out this week.

So what’s in store for Mozilla’s open-source email client? Integration with Gmail and .Mac, message alerts, and new ways to organize emails by using Gmail-like tags. You can apply labels to messages, and then search for those labels later. Or, unlike Gmail, you can still separate your email into folders.

The Gmail and .Mac integration basically means that it’s easier to set up Thunderbird to work with webmail accounts. It’s not quite the same as having a Gmail-like interface in a desktop application, but it does mean you don’t have to work as hard to configure your POP and SMTP settings.

The update also includes optional new message alerts, which will pop up every time an email arrives at your inbox. If you only want alerts for the most important messages, you can apply filters that will direct most emails away from your inbox.
