Thunderbird 0.9, the mail client from the Mozilla project, is now available. If you’re wondering what’s new in this release, Asa details two of the most useful new features available: saved searches and message grouping. Evolution, the outlook clone from Ximian, has saved searches/virtual folders too. It’s a feature I didn’t quite use as much as I could have but I do make the same searches pretty frequently at work, I’ll have to try it again.
My favorite new feature is the "saved search folders" (formerly known
as "virtual folders.") This feature allows you to perform a search on
your messages and save that search as a folder. Every time you select
that folder, you see the results of the search as if it was a discreet
mailbox.
