Thunderbird v0.1
The Mozilla Thunderbird Mail Project
Mozilla Thunderbird is a redesign of the Mozilla mail component. Our goal
is to produce a cross platform stand alone mail application using the XUL
user interface language. Our intended customer is someone who uses Mozilla
Firebird (or another stand alone browser) as their primary browser and
wants a mail client based on mozilla that "plays nice" with the browser.
In addition, by focusing solely on stand alone mail, we believe we can
make some dents in the overall footprint and performance of the mail
client by removing components and chrome we don't need. On top of that,
the UI becomes much cleaner as a stand alone application as opposed to
being part of the mozilla suite.
In addition to the feature set found in Mozilla Mail, Thunderbird has
several new features and improvements to make your mail and new experience
better. Highlights include:
* The ability to customize your toolbars the way you want them. Choose
View / Toolbars / Customize inside any window.
* UI extensions can be added to Mozilla Thunderbird to customize your
experience with specific features and enhancements that you need. Support
for extensions. Extensions allow you to add features particular to your
needs such as offline mail support. A full list of available extensions
can be found here.
* A new look and feel. Thunderbird also supports a large number of
downloadable themes which alter the appearance of the client.
* An addressing sidebar for mail compose which makes it easy and
convenient to add address book contacts to emails.
* Online help includes a FAQ, tips and tricks and other useful
information.
* Simplified preferences UI and menus.
* Footprint and performance improvements.
P.S. It's a huge download of 19 MB

-------------------- Snippet from the readme dated 6-12-2003
-------------------------
This version of the IBM1S506.ADD driver has the 48 bit LBA support
and the driver will automaticaly detect drives with the capability of 48
bit LBA. This 48 bit LBA support will allow the use of hard disk drives
with up up to 2 TB (Terabytes) (1 TB = 1024 GB) in size. Currently the
OS2DASD.DMD driver has a limitation of 502 GB in size for a hard disk.
Therefore the maximum physical hard disk size OS/2 will support currently
is 502 GB.
