Thunderbird 2.0 To Launch This Week - Interview with Scott MacGregor, Lead
Engineer
,----[ Quote ]
| Probably the most interesting aspect of Thunderbird 2, from a Web
| technology point of view, is its customization features. As with
| Firefox, Thunderbird is an open source, flexible platform -
| allowing developers to create add-ons that extend its
| functionality. There are currently hundreds of add-ons, including
| contact managers, VOIP calling, and networking tools. The most
| popular, according to Scott, are Lightening (bringing calendar
| into mail), Plaxo (syncs address book, similar to Plaxo for
| Outlook), and enigmail (encryption).

With extensions, it puts Microsoft Outlook to shame.
