Long wait if over and the new version looks great and works great. Few things I notices after I started working on this
1) The UI and tabbed interface is much better than what I have anticipated.
2) The feature like "Show in conversation" you get as part "other actions" in message body is pretty good and at least very useful form me.
3) Search is pretty good and it has an option to search with in the body of the message, for which now I depend on google desktop search. But the indexing task of existing mails literally killing my laptop as the memory used by Thunderbird reaching 200 MB and there is no option to pause or stop indexing :(
4) One thing I didn't like at all is there is no lightening add-on available for Thunderbird 3, now I am forced to use the nightly build. I really hate to use these nightly builds. But one good thing is the nightly build UI looks good and some how feel its faster than 0.9 version but takes too much memory, can't blame its after all a development build.
5) Thunderbird 2.0 tags and filters still work in Thunderbird 3.0 and that's a good new for me.
6) When indexing is running Thunderbird 3 is taking around 90 MB of main memory(RAM) which in my opinion is not good and hoping to see some fix in next releases.
7)Delete functionality still needs some improvements as I am still ending up with hung session when ever I try to delete more than 100 mails in single go.
