Mozilla & Gecko clones "The Thunderbird email client doesn't get half the attention that its big brother, the Firefox browser, gets, but the Mozilla Foundation has finally gotten around to lavishing some love on it, and the first beta of version 2 is now out. If you think there's nothing more that can added to an email client - except for the fabled seek-out-and-destroy-spam option - prepare to be pleasantly surprised. The new Thunderbird comes with numerous new features."

Yay, tagging

One one level I find 'tagging' one of the most obnoxious memes to fall out of the festering chutney-chute of Web 2.0 (in many scenarios its application is just plain pointless), but I'm rather pleased to see it coming to Tbird as I've grown quite fond of it in Gmail.

Now, the question will be: do I sift through my existing mail archive, appropriately tagging a couple of years' worth of messages, or just do them as and when I have occasion to access them in the future?

Looking to the future, will I even bother organising newly-received mail into folders any more? Or will I simply let a dirty big heap sit in my Inbox for all time and let the tags do the work of classification?

I shan't sleep tonight for pondering that one.

While you can't sleep, you might as well tag your messages ;) ).
