Learn more about open source software alternatives with Ron Bongo and discover how open source changed the way people send and receive emails.

Email has played a very important role in online life, whether for business, commercial or personal applications, and Microsoft’s popular email clients Outlook and Outlook Express has dominated the email scene for several years since their initial releases. These email clients achieved tremendous popularity among online users due to their great functionalities and features as well as the lack of good applications that can compete with Microsoft’s email arsenal.

Mozilla’s Thunderbird would be one of the few email programs that can compete with Microsoft Outlook Express. These programs have basically the same functionalities and ease of use, but what’s rapidly transforming Thunderbird into the email application of choice is that users can download and use it freely as an Open Source offering. Not only that Thunderbird, unlike Microsoft Outlook Express, can be used in a cross platform environment and would work well on Windows or on a GNU/Linux operating system.

The latest version of Thunderbird can be easily downloaded from Mozilla’s website and easily installed on your personal computer or laptop. Aside from the installer program, extensions and upgrades can also be downloaded to give the user a much better email experience using Thunderbird.
