Thunderbird Menu button (Credit: Mozilla/Thunderbird)
The Thunderbird Menu Button allows users to remove the Menu Bar from the top of the window in order to grant more real estate to read and manage emails. A right click on this same Menu Button gives access to the "customize" command and entitles the user to add, remove and re-arrange many icons on the bar. It really empowers the user to build its own personal interface.
Thunderbird 17.0 based on the new Mozilla Gecko 17 engine that's used in Firefox 17.0 Final.
What is Thunderbird?
Thunderbird makes e-mailing safer, faster, and easier with such features as intelligent spam filters, a built-in RSS reader, and quick search. Thunderbird was designed to prevent viruses and to stop junk mail. Thunderbird 17.0 includes tabbed e-mail, new search tools and indexing, "smart" folders, support for Firefox's Personas, a simplified setup wizard, and robust junk protections that include phishing and spam filters. Full details are available in the Thunderbird Features web page.
