Mozilla Releases Thunderbird 3 Beta 3 for Windows, Mac and Linux

The latest stable version of the Mozilla developed email client is Thunderbird 2.0 – version 2.0.0.22 is a security update that is meant to make the software safer and protect the user from attacks and other security incidents.
“We're happy to announce the release of Thunderbird 3 Beta 3, now available for download.

This milestone is focused on testing the core functionality of the new features and platform changes that will be included in Thunderbird 3” said Mozilla’s press release.
Thunderbird 3 Beta 3 will not be the last Beta version in the development cycle of the email client. According to the Mozilla Foundation, as the organization works on what it calls a “major new release of Thunderbird 3”, you can expect a 4th Beta to be rolled out in the future.
