Windows Live Mail, on the other hand, is Microsoft's web-based successor to Hotmail. We've got the web and the desktop covered, right? But now here comes Windows Live Mail Desktop. Uh.. wuh?

Awhile back Google started beta-testing Gmail For Your Domain, a hosted e-mail service that lets you use Gmail's slick webmail interface for e-mail addresses from your own domain name. It's still a closed beta, but a blogger at Science Addiction managed to get his domain on the list (go here to try for yourself) and has written a review of the service (if the site is down from Slashdotting, the ...

The module allows you to customize the number of e-mail headings to show as well as specify a URL to link to a webmail account if you have one. This in addition to ...

Sometimes it's easy to forget that Firefox isn't the only action going on over at Mozilla HQ. They've been hard at work at Thunderbird 1.5 and today RC2 was released. Version 1.5 is a big improvement over the previous version and includes autoupdate, as-you-type spellcheck, RSS improvements including podcast support, improvements to message filters, usability enhancements, and, most importantly, ...

Mail, a Greasemonkey user script (or stand-alone Firefox extension, take your pick) which, in case you hadn't guessed, adds fancy AJAX features to Yahoo!
