Thunderbird, the awesome emailer

I tried Thunderbird as my email application at home. When I'm at work, usually companies uses Exchange as their email server and Outlook as the client (or email application). I must say, Thunderbird is as useful as outlook (I don't really mean to offend someone here). The installation is easy and the configuration to connect to SMTP server is also very easy. With a few click, you can then use the application. For installation process, see images below.

Download the installer from their site.

When done, click the download application to run the installer. Just select the default values and hit finish when done. When launch Thunderbird option is checked, it should start after the installation.

Creating a new account is just simply clicking the "Create new account" like the image below. I have a gmail account so I don't have any problems just by entere my gmail credentials. Please check on Thunderbird's documentation for further information.

And you're done. You can now get your emails by clicking Get Mail.
