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.

living without microsoft office

So having taken the decision to REPLACE Microsoft Office with something else it's a strangely worrying, yet cathartic time for me: I feel like I'm kicking a bad habit like smoking, drinking or chainsaw juggling - I know Office may not be the best thing for me, I know it costs me a lot of money but I like it and I've been using it for years.  It's in my comfort zone.

I definitely think its time for me to stand up and announce "my names Nick and I'm an addict"... it's time to go through techno-rehab.

 

This blog will be edited after succesful installation.

Short lists so far

  • Thunderbird 3
  • BAT
  • Live Mail

 

NOTES ON WIP:

BAT - nope. just dont like it. very dated feel. clunky. not for me.

What is the best alternative to microsoft outlook

I've been a longtime user of Microsoft products from the early days of Dos through to the current incarnation of Vista. On the whole they are great and despite rumblings from the nay-Sayers of Microsoft is evil or Bill Gates controls the black helicopters and Vista stinks you should use mac/Linux/OS2/etc whichever way you look at it the last last 20 years of human evolution has been guided by the firm corporate hand of Microsoft to an incredible amount.

Anyway, before I start ranting about software - I've been a long time user of Microsoft Office products but the latest incarnation Office2007 has just left me feeling slightly miffed. 

Filezilla FTP freeware client

FTP

Filezilla is an opensource FTP client. With all the features of Cute FTP, WS FTP, Turbo FTP and all those other expensive commercial programs. I use FileZilla virtually everyday and think it's great. It's got a built in updater so when new releases are announced it autoupdates itself and best of all it's utterly free!

a free PDF viewer that is more streamlined than the ADOBE offering?

Setting up Mrs Finkpad's laptop today and trying to install the DLINK wireless network range extender [DWL-G710] I had to open an installation PDF (yes I know... /me hangs my head in shame). Of course she didnt have a PDF view installed so I went searching for a freeware one.

I found SumatraPDF an opensource viewer thats utterly free, and much much quicker than the Adobe PDF Viewer. Dont get me wrong, I've nothing aginst the Adobe viewer, it's just that its grown into this bloated thing over the years. Sumatra, on the other hand is very small, very quick and easy to use... Just perfect for the laptop and, more importantly, for Steph.
