Thunderbird 3 Beta 2 was released yesterday for public download. Thunderbird fans should keep in mind that this is a beta version of the email client so it can still produce bugs that might delete things irrecoverably (it feels very stable though). For that reason, it is advisable not to try out Thunderbird 3 Beta 2 in a work environment.
There are basically more than 342 changes were made between after the release of Beta 1. The changes include bug fixes and some notable ones (new features) like the archiving feature that has been taken right from Gmail. Thunderbird 3 will automatically create a new entry, "Archives" in the mail folder structure with sub folders for months and years.
Messages can be simply archived by pressing the "A key" or by using the archive button that appears in the header area of each message. They will be automatically sorted into the correct year and month folder in the mail structure. This feature will definitely come handy for users who receive lots of messages per day that need to be kept. Another prominent change is the central activity manager that lists the most recent changes in the email client (for example, moving or retrieving mail).
Thunderbird 3 beta 2 is available for all supported operating systems and languages.
