Just read that it will have tabs in a near future release. One thing that drives me nuts is having to rewrap when I send an email... then it wraps where it shouldn't wrap. I also miss the Mozilla feature where I could open a web page in a new tab from within an email in Thunderbird. If I click on the link, it takes over the current tab. I use Thunderbird and love it.

I tested the above with a new profile and it worked for me. In fact that setting is the default. @Meryl: To fix your problem with links in emails not opening new tabs, open firefox and change the ‘open links from other applications in’ setting in the menu under Tools/Options/Tabs and set it to ‘new tab in the most recent window’.

I've been using early versions of Sunbird for Calendar stuff and it works well. You can install it as a standalone application or a Thunderbird Extension and it uses the iCal format to store data.

For example Lightning should make it possible for alerts and notifications will come from thunderbird itself which will be a distinct improvement. The main thing that annoys me about Sunbird and the Calendar extension is (as far as I know) I can't get alerts if Sunbird/Calendar isn't open.
