Beside Thunderbird, mozilla.org is also developing another mailclient, based 
on Qualcomm's discontinued Eudora, now known as the "Penelope" project. It 
is foreseen as standalone mail app and as extension for thunderbird, though 
I still do not understand why mozilla keeps two horses running on the email 
race track. The Penelope beta version is from 8-31-2007 but it's future is 
as unknown as Thunderbird's.
