Need a Free E-mail Program?

Mozilla Thunderbird – A tip from us to you.

Running a small business can be a challenging endeavor, especially when you are looking to get the kind of software that an office needs for basic functions. E-mail has become such a necessity to business life that if you don’t have you could be in danger of missing out on possible sales. Some companies even have multiple email addresses and often from more than one provider.

In today’s technologically driven world one name has become king of the hill when it comes to productivity software. Microsoft. Yes, the almighty Microsoft Outlook. It is probably what most people who have ever worked in an office are using everyday to keep track of their emails. You may even have it open right now. But Outlook and its parent package – Microsoft Office – are unnecessarily expensive and sometimes prohibitively so. This means some people will use older versions that are out of date and may be vulnerable to the numerous email attacks out there. If you are running a small business or are looking for a way to cut costs, a free alternative would be a great advantage right? Does such a thing exist in a quality package? Yes it does.

Mozilla’s Thunderbird is a cross platform open source email client created by the same development team that created Firefox – the Internet Browser leading the new wave of alternative browser technology that has been giving Microsoft’s Internet explorer some much needed competition in the last couple years.

At its core, Thunderbird has all the features of Outlook’s smaller brother Outlook Express. It can store emails from multiple addresses and locations but also has some of the more full-featured capabilities that customers look for such as rules to sort emails automatically, junk mail filters, multiple security features, anti-phishing protection and free automatic updates. Since Thunderbird is open source software, the code it was built on is supplied free of charge to programmers around the globe, making extensions possible. Extensions are free of charge downloadable add-ons to Thunderbird that give the program more advanced features that even Outlook may not have. This lets you decided how powerful an email client you want or need for a very attractive price – FREE.
