I was browsing around Wikipedia when I chanced upon this in the Mozilla Thunderbird article:
As of March 14, 2005, security site Secunia counts 1 unpatched security flaws not yet fixed for Mozilla Thunderbird 1.x, compared to 6 unpatched security flaws for Microsoft Outlook Express 6, 2 unpatched security flaws for Eudora 6.x and 0 unpatched security flaws for Ximian Evolution 1.4.x.
Is Thunderbird safe enough for general purpose use, especially in corporations? You be the judge.

Interesting that this is ‘As of March 13, 2005′ since as of March 14, 2005 ‘1 out of 3 Secunia advisories, is marked as “Unpatched” in the Secunia database.’

not that i would use it, but Outlook Express is not the same as Outlook, which is mouch more widely used in a corporate enviroment….

I suppose this would be a comparison of free email programs… Corporate use of these programs would vary anyway.

Well, I’d like to use Thunderbird at work, too. But we’ve got that MS Outlook collaboration infrastructure, and TB just hasn’t enough features. But it’s great at home. I like the RSS reader!
