Pros

Mozilla Thunderbird 2 offers unobtrusive installation; speedy searches; built-in RSS feeds; well-considered security; hundreds of add-ons; and compatibility with Windows, Mac, and Linux systems, as well as with Gmail and .Mac accounts.

Cons

Setting up Mozilla Thunderbird 2 may be dead simple for geeks, but steps could be explained better from the start. Built-in features are less extensive than in paid clients, such as Microsoft Outlook, although users with savvy can tack on many add-ons.

Verdict

Mozilla Thunderbird 2 is a fine, free, extensible e-mail client and a solid alternative to pricey Microsoft Outlook 2007 or the free Windows Live Mail.
