Take a look at the The first alpha release of Thunderbird 3, the open source mail client built on the Gecko rendering engine which is now open for developer preview. The Mozilla Messaging team has named this release “Shredder a”1 to signify that this release is early, buggy and should NOT be used in a production environment.

Thunderbird development community aims to release the first alpha of Thunderbird 3 next month. Plans began to take shape yesterday during the very first Thunderbird weekly status call meeting, at which developers discussed potential features and other issues of relevance. Early plans for Thunderbird 3 first emerged last month when the Mozilla Foundation announced the official launch of Mozilla Messaging, a new subsidiary that will focus on communication software. This alpha release is primarily intended to let Thunderbird fans know that the project is alive and well and the team is working hard on the next version of the open source

e-mail client. Shredder Alpha 1 builds on the Gecko 1.9 platform which also provides the underpinnings for Firefox 3. The primary goal of the recently released alpha version is to discover to what extent the platform will cooperate gracefully with Thunderbird. Thunderbird 3 will use Gecko 1.9, a new version of the rendering engine that serves as the foundation for the Mozilla platform. Gecko 1.9, which has also been instrumental in the making of Firefox 3, offers a number of very significant improvements, including a new Cairo-based rendering backend and support for JavaScript 1.8. Improving the Thunderbird user interface is another very high priority for version 3.

Plans include a visual refresh and refactoring the configuration interface to improve basic usability and support for calendaring are the two killer features that will make Thunderbird a success. Resolving usability problems with the configuration system is one way that he thinks Thunderbird could be made more accommodating for new users.

The most interesting-looking feature that is part of this alpha release is the ability to open messages in tabs, which looks like a fantastic way to keep frequently needed messages easily at hand. There are some other new enhancements, too, like a new add-ons manager similar to the one found in Firefox 3, and a much-improved search tool for finding text within messages.

Again, be aware that this is a developer preview and is certainly not ready for prime time. If you feel ready to give the newest alpha a try, you can download it for your platform of choice here.

Another notable firefox addon for download, Interclue is the ultimate link augmentation multitool. Our goal is to provide you with excellent previews, useful extra information and relevant next actions for almost any given link on any given page.


Interclue tries hard to stay out of your way when it’s not needed. Interclue usually won’t show clues on internal site navigation, because such links tend to be closely packed and tooltips will often just get in the way without really adding much value.

Interclue works really well on Most search engines, local site searches,Google Reader, Bloglines,gmail. Del.icio.us, Digg, other social bookmarking sites, Bugzilla and Trac ticketing systems.I nterclue does all of its page summarization work inside the browser, so there is no security risk involved in using it on your intranet - although you may need to turn it on from the status bar, Interclue is turned off by default on all https sites.

Mozilla has just made Firefox 3, Beta 3 available for download. Intended for testers and those who wants to live on the edge, Firefox 3 improved its memory issues than its predecessor. Without a doubt the most visible change introduced in this beta are the theme updates in all platforms. On Windows XP and Vista, a large part of the planned new XP icons has been added to the main toolbar.


The back and forward buttons have been combined in a single keyhole-shaped widget featuring a single history menu. So far just Windows XP and Vista feature it but Mac OS X and Linux versions are ready and waiting to get in. The Home button has been moved to the Bookmarks toolbar by default and the splitter that allows to resize the search and location bars when placed next to each other has become invisible. Mac OS X users get integration with Growl, a popular centralized notification system, while Windows Vista gets native looking menus and new icons that should be added for the next beta.
