Mozilla outs Thunderbird 3.1 alpha
Among the tweaks are enhancements to stability and memory usage, better IMAP access, fixes for smart folders, filters, and attachment handling. The Thunderbird interface is also being re-tooled -- so far the changes are fairly subtle.
Thunderbird 3.1 is also dropping support for Windows ME and older as well as Mac OsX prior to 10.4 Tiger. But hey, if you're still running an OS that old you're probably not too concerned with running up-to-date apps either...
Ready to take it for a spin? Testers can download alpha builds for Windows, Mac, and Linux from the Thunderbird early release page.

Looks like they still don't give the option to compose a message in a new tab instead of a new email. Is it really that difficult to implement? Come on guys!

I too like this idea, it would be less cluttered and save the trouble of digging through windows

"as well as Mac OsX 10.4 prior to Tiger." Isn't 10.4 Tiger, itself? What does this sentence mean? Do you mean they will only support 10.4 and 10.5?

I wish they would drag their email editor into the 21st century. You can't highlight text without resorting to editing the HTML source. It is probably the most ignored party of Thunderbird. It hasn't really changed since the first version!

Looks like Mozilla stripped TB3 of it's POP3 capabilties, I can only setup IMAP, @ least with GMail

So when will lightning be available for 64bit builds? I've been waiting for that for over 3 months now!

I can't actually "upgrade" to Thunderbird 3. They seem to have forgotten that there are still huge numbers of people that need to set up new pop3 accounts. I don't know what brain child suggested they get rid of that necessary function, but the decision needs to be reevaluated.
