Thanks to

Version 1.5 of Mozilla's popular email client and RSS reader has been
released. Thunderbird is a free, full featured email, RSS, and newsgroup reader. It now supports more streamlined updating much as Firefox 1.5
does, along with a host of other new features and improvements such as
podcasting support, phishing protection, and spell check as you type. Some of the more prominent
ones are as follows:
New Features & Improvements:
- Automated update to streamline product upgrades. Notification of an update is more prominent,
and updates to Thunderbird may now be half a megabyte or smaller. Updating extensions has also improved. - Sort address autocomplete results by how often you send e-mail to each recipient.
- Spell check as you type.
- Saved Search Folders can now search across multiple accounts.
- Built in phishing detector to help protect users against email scams.
