Le célébre client e-mail issue de la suite Mozilla vient de sortir en version finale 0.6. Pour rappel, ce logiciel est une version optimisée et stand-alone (indépendante) du client e-mail intégré à Mozilla. Dans la même veine, vous retrouvez également le navigateur le plus plébiscité du moment, lui aussi issue de la suite Mozilla, j'ai nommé Mozilla Firefox.

- Thunderbird includes Secure Password Authentication using a new cross-platform NTLM authentication mechanism for IMAP, POP3 and SMTP.

- Mail filters can now mark messages as junk.

- Offline support is an optional download component in the Windows installer and is no longer a separately-downloaded extension.

- Tools > Options > Compose > HTML Options allows you to set up default HTML compose options such as font, size and color.
