At work, I usually either use a drive imaging program to load the operating system and applications onto a machine. If I'm reformatting a customer's machine, I use WPI (Windows Post Installer) to silently install programs. At home, however, I'm a little less cautious when I reformat and often forget to back up my program installers. That's when something like the Smart Installer Pack might come ...
Postbox is an email client and address book application for OS X and Windows built on Mozilla Thunderbird code.

You can easily import your contact list from Outlook or Thunderbird into Postbox. And when you login to ...

Create automatic backups via command line
New Installer
Supports backup of unknown files from user ...
Been so buys buying smaller media companies that you haven't had time to keep up on the week's news? Here's what you've been missing, CBS, Condé Nast, and Comcast:
Thunderbird 3 alpha 1 available now Firefox may get all the attention, but Mozilla's Outlook-clone/killer also shows that open source software can hold its own in the instant messaging space. This week saw the release of ...
The first alpha release of Thunderbird 3, the open source mail client built on the Gecko rendering engine (what Firefox and all other Mozilla products use), is now available as a developer preview. The Mozilla Messaging team has named this release "Shredder a1" to signify that this release is early, buggy and should NOT be used in a production environment. Mozilla is aiming this release at ...
Looking for another alternative to Microsoft Outlook? While Mozilla Thunderbird offers many of the same features as Microsoft's email client, you need to install plugins to add calendar and task management features. eM Client, on the other hand, comes equipped with a full featured email client and contact, task, and calendar managers. eM Client is a Windows only application that has been in ...
A few months back, Mozilla announced plans to create a new organization responsible for development of the Thunderbird e-mail client. While Mozilla's Firefox web browser has been getting a lot of attention in recent years from both developers and the general public, Thunderbird has sort of been living in the shadow of its big, more popular sibling. Today David Ascher announced that the new ...
This post's subtitle could be "Why Gmail rocks". If you're already a Gmail user, you probably already understand Gmail's unique way of grouping messages from the same conversation together and presenting them in one unified view. If that's the case, this article is probably not of much interest to you. But if you've never tried Gmail, and have never understood why your friends keep saying it's the ...
While more and more people (including most of the staff at DLS) are starting to keep all of their e-mail online, using services like GMail, Windows Live Mail or an Exchange hosted account, there are still plenty of people who prefer using an offline mail client. While the advantage of storing mail locally is that you can access messages at any time -- whether you are connected to the Internet or ...
Synovel plans to release a new open-source email/calendar/collaboration suite built on Mozilla Thunderbird. But Spicebird won't just be the equivalent of Thunderbird with the Lightning calendar extension thrown in for good measure. Rather, Spicebird is a new open source project that allows users to collaborate with one another. In addition to the email client, Spicebird lets you send instant ...
It's a problem we've all faced before: We venture away from web based email programs to try those cool-looking desktop email clients everyone's raving about. After getting through the hassle of making sure everything syncs properly, one of the problems many seem to face is duplicate messages. Well, open source Thunderbird users don't stand around letting problems be; They face them with ...
