Wonder if they will have to change the name of this just like firefox since Thunderbird is a trademark of Ford.

where i can download it?? cant find a link???

i second that motion!

that's a cool icon and an even cooler web page design

looks super good. now do you have it in .ico or png ?

i wanna start using it 

Apart from the new artwork, this build also includes significant improvements to the junk mail filter, so it might be worth giving it a shot. I've installed it, but I don't have any junk mail to test it on at the moment.

I don't see where it says junk mail filter improvements? Was that in a previous change log?

What's New
-------------
1) I'm excited to announce our new branding artwork for Thunderbird! Many thanks to Jon Hicks, Steven Garrity and the rest of the visual identity team for developing the new brand identity for Thunderbird! Please note that the same trademark restrictions that apply to the new Firefox branding artwork also applies to the Thunderbird artwork! The branch windows nightly build currently has the new artwork. For details about the artwork you can read Jon's blog about the new art:

Hick's Blog Entry about the new icons


2) The about dialog got a bit of a face lift to better integrate the new artwork

3) We currently show just the display name for message recipients matching people you already know in your addressbook (ala mail.app and Outlook). Mousing over the friendly display name shows a tooltip with the email address. the addresss context menu also shows the email address. For those of you (I'm sure there will be ) that don't like this, you can easily turn it off: Tools / Options / Advanced / General Settings.

4) When starting up a new profile, don't assume the user's resolution is 800x600, giving us a very small 3-pane window on first launch for high resolution screens. Instead, take a look at the current resolution and try to pick a sane initial width and height.

5) The UA for the branch build is version 0.6a (just a reminder)

6) Pinstripe for OS X has several bug improvements including the return of status indicators in the message list pane (for replied, forwarded, and mark as deleted). (Thanks Kevin!)

7) You can now Open attachments from the mail compose window. (double click the attachment or right click on the attachment and select Open). This is an easy way to double check the contents of your attachments before you send your message.

8) As always, the automated windows build includes the new junk controls.

I'll post a weekly test build for the trunk (which has a lot more feature work on it, but less stability/bug regressions) tomorrow or Thursday depending how the bits look.

here is the real icon ripped from the Mac version...

enjoy

Luckily there is no "local" on the web..

Here's the changelog posted by mscott on the MozillaZine forums:

Automated build? What does that mean?

Yeah, and maybe they'll have to call the fruit something other than apple because Apple is a trademark as well

Two entities can share the same name.. The only time they cannot share the same name is when they do similar things and have a similar user base (in the case of Firebird). The car has nothing to do with a mail client.

Uhm, no. You think you can use the name Microsoft or Sony or something and sell cars with them? No. They are registered trademarks of their corporation just like Thunderbird is to Ford. That being said, I doubt they will fight it, because there is no use for a company like Ford to make enemies over a product that will probably be gone from existance within a few years.

Yes, you can make a company called Microsoft and sell cars with it. Just because one person chose a name doesn't mean its reserved to them and them alone. Its reserved to them in their field, and outside of that field, they have no jurisdiction.

There is no chance that Microsoft (Bill Gates and Co.) would allow you to create a car company called Microsoft. They would sue you and say that you intend to use their good name and reputation (yea, right) to cause confusion in the marketplace. They would be worried that potentially shoddy car products might sully the name of Microsoft.
