Is Thunderbird, Desktop Email Dying Out?
7:00AM Adam Pash | There was a time when Mozilla’s email client, Thunderbird, was just as exciting a game-changer as Firefox. These days, we can’t help but wonder if Thunderbird—and most desktop email, for that matter—is doomed. More »

Send Later For Thunderbird Adds Custom Quick-Delay Buttons
1:00AM Kevin Purdy | Windows/Mac/Linux: Previously mentioned Thunderbird extension Send Later rolls some time-saving buttons into a neck-saving extension. Now you can pre-set delays—30 minutes, 2 hours, tomorrow—for emails you want to hold off on. Just as before, you activate Send Later (or SL8R) by hitting Ctrl+Shift+Enter, a slight variation on Thunderbird’s Ctrl+Enter shortcut. When you get the prompt above, you can activate any of the pre-set delay times (chosen in the add-on’s options dialog) by hitting Alt and a number 1-3, giving you a cooling off period or letting you disguise your late-night email checking. Version 1.2 of Send Later incorporates a few other fixes and goodies, including a toolbar and draft folder presence and reduced memory use. It’s a free download, works wherever Thunderbird does. Note: Screenshot from developer’s blog; this editor’s Thunderbird loaded the extension fine, but he forgot to snap it inside a different partition.

Thunderbird 3 Beta 2 Released
6:30AM Adam Pash | Windows/Mac/Linux: Love yourself a little Thunderbird? Mozilla’s desktop email client has released an update for early adopters in the form of Thunderbird 3 Beta 2. The majority of changes in this release come in the form of massive bug fixes, but you’ll also see cool new features like archiving (à la Gmail) and the new Activity Manager, which helps to give you a better idea of what Thunderbird is actually doing at any given time. Lastly, you’ll also see better Growl notifications on OS X and more keyboard shortcuts. [Thunderbird 3 Beta 2 via gHacks] More »

SendVia Changes SMTP Servers On the Fly
10:16AM Lifehacker US Edition | Thunderbird only (Windows/Mac/Linux): Experimental Thunderbird extension SendVia changes your outgoing SMTP mail server on the fly while composing a message. Using the extension is as simple as opening a new message window and selecting your SMTP server from the list, or adding a new one on the fly with the handy New SMTP Server item, which saves to your account settings for next time—a feature the more well known SmtpSelect extension doesn’t have. This extension is useful for anyone that moves their laptop around, as SMTP servers are often blocked by internet service providers to combat spam, and taking a trip to account settings each time is a serious annoyance. SendVia is a free experimental add-on (meaning you will need a username and password to download it from Mozilla Add-ons). SendVia [Mozilla Add-ons via gHacks] More »

Google Contacts Syncs Your Google Address Book With Thunderbird
2:00PM Adam Pash | Thunderbird only: Thunderbird extension Google Contacts automatically syncs contacts between your Google and Thunderbird address books. The sync is bi-directional, and the extension is smart enough to detect Gmail accounts you’ve already set up in Thunderbird, so setup is a breeze. Beyond that, there’s not much to it—Google Contacts does exactly what it sets out to do. Now that you can easily sync any desktop calendar with Google Calendar and sync Google Contacts with extensions like this one, it’s easier than ever to keep your Google data synchronized.
