It’s easier to upgrade to Thunderbird 3.1 from older versions of Thunderbird and other email clients like Outlook and Outlook Express.

Our new Migration Assistant will help you set up Thunderbird the way you want it. And our import tools help you bring your emails, address books, and settings from your older email program to Thunderbird 3.1.

Tabs and Search
Thunderbird 3.1 changes the way you do email with tabbed email, and a new set of search tools helps you find your emails faster.

Quick Filter Toolbar
The new Quick Filter Toolbar lets you filter your email faster. Start typing in words in the Quick Filter search box and the results are displayed instantly. Or you can filter your email by New Messages, Tags, and people in your Address Book. You can also “Pin” or save a Filter and use it across multiple folders.

Tabs
If you like Firefox’s tabbed browsing, you’re going to love tabbed email. Tabbed email lets you load emails in separate tabs so you can quickly jump between them. Perhaps you’re responding to an email and need to refer back to an earlier email. Tabbed email lets you keep multiple emails open for easy reference.

Double-clicking or hitting enter on a mail message will now open that message in a new tab window. Right-clicking on messages or folders will open them in a tab in the background.

When quitting Thunderbird, visible tabs will be saved and will be restored when you open Thunderbird the next time. There is also a new Tab menu on the Tab toolbar to help you switch between Tabs.

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 2 Release Notes

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.
