Mozilla Messaging has just released the second release candidate of Thunderbird 3.1 with the plan to introduce the final release of Thunderbird 3.1 in the middle of June.
Thunderbird 3.1 introduces several new features to the desktop email client, among them the new quick filter toolbar to filter messages in a folder temporarily or permanently, the saved files manager which displays the saved attachments of the current Thunderbird session and the migration assistant which improves the import of email accounts to Thunderbird.
Bugzilla lists five bugs that have been fixed in the second release candidate, among them one critical bug that affected the Mac version of the email client. A major bug in the migration assistant has been fixed as well which did not honor advanced IMAP synchronization settings.
Early adopters, tech enthusiasts and developers can download Thunderbird 3.1 RC2 from the official Mozilla Messaging website. The client is offered for all supported operating systems and languages.
Users who are already working with a previous Thunderbird 3.1 release can update the email software from within by going to Help > Check for Updates.
The final Thunderbird 3.1 version might be released as soon as next week if things go as planned.
