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. :p

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

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

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.

It doesn't get any better than the original. Thank you. :happy:

A local golf club was forced to change it's name from Thunderbird Golf Club to the Royal Ashburn Golf Club because of issues with the local native people. I would hope that Mozilla does their homework to ensure that there isn't negative feedback once they go to v1.0

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

I'm sure there is a US counterpart to the Assembly of First Nations.

Automated build? What does that mean?

Awesome work (Y)

Automated build? What does that mean?

The nightly builds are automatically compiled and uploaded to Mozilla's FTP servers. That's all it means. Basically, what he's saying is that the nightly build includes improved junk mail controls.

Since my initial post, I've tested the filter on junk mail and it definitely seems more effective than the 0.5 milestone build. :)

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

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.

You really think that Ford isn't fighting it just because they're too lazy to do so? If you don't defend your trademark, you risk loosing it. However, in this case, it isn't Ford's trademark because it isn't in their field. If what you say is true, I can trademark the name Thunderbird right now because Ford lost it by not defending it.

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.

Well, yeah, that's a whole different story (with the defacing of the name etc).. Their lawsuits would be against the company. But if Bill Gates tried to sue Microsoft Cars for trademark infringement of the name, they would go no where because they are two different fields.

Awesome! (Y)
