Best Answer

Mozilla Thunderbird is a free and open source desktop email client available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It was originally developed by the Mozilla Foundation, the organization that created and maintains Mozilla Firefox, but they've abandoned it and it is not currently being developed by anyone, even though it is the most popular desktop email client.

Features:

  • Manage multiple webmail, POP3, and IMAP email accounts from one location.
  • Can help to block viruses, email scams, junk mail and spam.
  • Allows for the installation and use of add-ons (some as the same as Mozilla Firefox).
  • Can import address books, mail, filters, and other settings from other email applications (such as Outlook and Outlook Express).
  • Full featured calendar add-on (separate download for Thunderbird 2 but will be bundled with Thunderbird 3).

Mozilla Thunderbird is a desktop pop email program, similar to Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express. Users can access email accounts via this program from the desktop of their computer rather than going to the email provider's website and logging in.

Yahoo! Mail and GMail are very similar, they are both web mails, meaning that they can be accessed from a web page and give you an email @yahoo.com or @gmail.com. Mozilla Thunderbird does not give you an email but it is a program, like Outlook, that allows you to access an email that you already have, like your GMail email for example.
