Mozilla Thunderbird 5 Finally Available For Download

Mozilla on Tuesday made available the official download of Thunderbird 5.0, the company’s email client software that hasn’t seen a major release update in nearly 18 months.

The free download is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X and Linux systems and promises faster startup times, tabs that can be reordered and even dragged into new windows and attachment sizes displayed on the program.

Mozilla has also added support for Mac 32/64 bit Universal builds only, removing PowerPC-based Mac capabilities.

The beta release for Thunderbird 5.0 was made available just several short weeks ago and the new program corresponds nicely with the release of Mozilla Firefox 5.

The naming convention in case you missed it excludes version four with the last release known as Thunderbird 3.x.
