Thunderbird 3 Beta 2
Posted by LAV in Contact sync, EMail on March 24th, 2009
I know I said that I would switch to Mail.app, but somehow I still use Thunderbird from time to time… Anyhow, Thunderbird 3 beta 2 was released a few weeks back, so for those who thought that beta 1 sounded too unstable, maybe now it’s time to give Thunderbird 3 a try? As I’ve said before, for me the main reason for updating is that Thunderbird 3 natively supports the OSX Address Book!

When I made the switch to Mac and OSX, for some reason I stayed reluctant to trade my old trusty Thunderbird for OSX’ native Mail.app. But unfortunately Thunderbird doesn’t support the pesky Outlook calender invitations my company always spam me with, and I heard a rumor that Mail.app does, so I thought I had to give it a try then after all.
It turns out however, that I really, really, really, miss the three column vertical view from Thunderbird (and Outlook for that matter). For some strange reason Mail.app sports the older 2 column split mode… Fortunately, as always, Google has the answer. I quickly found WideMail by Dane Harnett, a modification to Mail.app that enables a three column view just like in Thunderbird. Also has many options to further customize the appearance. Thanks Dane!
