Thunderbird still fails enterprise test
The new Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5 beta has many improvements but also has many shortcomings. The good: Compared to the current 1.0.x version, it has fewer bugs, more useful searching, and a spell checker; the bad: unreliable security tools, limited calendaring/collaboration features and the lack of support for Microsoft's MAPI technology. So 1.5 is fine for individuals but not yet ready for enterprises.
