Mozilla flips email the (Thunder)bird, releases v3

Version 3 brings everyone's favourite productivity-booster and memory-sucker: tabs. Open email in tabs! Folders! Websites even! They're stored, just like Firefox, so when you open it again your tabs pop back into existence. For the enthusiasts and power-users there are filtered searches and 'smart folders' that can contain email from multiple accounts.
There's also better integration with Gmail, support for Windows 7 (and OS X -- Thunderbird is cross-platform!) and, for the new users, there's a nice, new set-up wizard to guide you through your first few baby steps.
If you've never tried Thunderbird, or perhaps never even tried an offline mail program like Outlook or Eudora, now's a great time to give it a go.
Download Thunderbird 3 now!

Big news but like you say not big noise being made. Why is it available for download but not pushed via check for updates, that's wrong. As @Postman's walk said awful decision to release without having Lightning add-on compatible.

Lightning has been available for months now.

I couldn't get it working with GMail but i think that's a problem with my university blocking ports because all my settings are correct. I'll have to test it when I get home.
