thunderbird 3 with lightning is the ultimate free replacement for outlook

The new Beta for Thunderbird 3 is finally out and it rocks!

This beta release includes:

  • Tab interface for Mail
  • Improvements to IMAP for faster message viewing
  • Improved message reader view
  • New Add-ons Manager
  • Improved Address Book interface
  • Improved import of mail from other Mail clients
  • Integration with Windows Vista search
  • Integration with Mac OS X Address Book

 

Download and install the latest Beta Build of Thunderbird

Installation of Thunderbird itself is simple. If you have used the old Thunderbird 2 then the first thing that will look different is that you now see a tabbed view of the main email windows (in the same style as Firefox). But wait, there is loads more under the hood.

firefox chrome registration error with windows vista

After upgrading to Firefox version I had a problem with a very annoying series of error messages saying "Chrome Registration Failed"

Some of the old add-ons are also not working so I put this down to the different versions I have installed in the past (version 2 then V3 Beta followed by the first Release Candidate and now the official V3).

best gui text editor for drupal fckeditor or tinymce?

WYSIWYG means "what-you-see-is-what-you-get"

Thats an internet fact.

Basically this means that when you type into a comment box on a website you want to be able to click bold italic and underline and actually see the words changing on the screen - as opposed to entering all the geeky <strong> <italic> and <ul> codes.

The great Viagra, Cialis, Acomplia swindle

So, It's thursday lunchtime and I've just wasted an hour of my life sifting through the thousands of website comments and deleting the spam. 99.9% of it was adverts for (yes, you've guessed it) various small blue pills and lotions promising monstrous erections and the ability to proudly say "Hung like BULL"

What is it with these horrid companies generating internet spam and splashing it around the website?    Ooooh... it gets my blood pressure raising - AND I DIDNT EVEN NEED A PILL TO DO IT!!!
