Thunderbird, the Firefox’s sister product, released its 1.5 version.

It is now loading faster with my 1 year stored emails, better option dialog, spell-checking when you type…etc. Here’s some noticable new features:

• Auto-save draft, this would be useful if your PC crashed in the middle of composing an email
• Software update is implemented in the same manner as Firefox 1.5 and much more usable
• Podcasting support
• Load and Export all your feeds from and to a OPML file
• Better auto-complete function (most used popup first)
• The release note claimed support of Google Map, not trying out yet

Overall, Thunderbird 1.5 improved a lot in usability. Most of things getting you “feel right” now.
