Thunderbird 2.0: A Simple, Powerful, Free Email Client

Michel Munger,  Low End Mac, Mac OS X Software, Macinthoughts - 2007.04.25 - Leave a comment -

2007 – This week we’ve asked Low End Mac’s writers to share some of the software tools they use that aren’t as well known as the standard set of Mac apps – Safari, Mail, Photoshop, Microsoft Word, etc. Today Michel Munger tells us why he loves the Thunderbird email client. dk

Michel Munger,  Low End Mac, Macinthoughts - 2007.04.09 - Leave a comment -

Michel Munger,  Low End Mac, Macinthoughts - 2005.06.20 - Leave a comment -
