Built-in Web search capability, improved mail search

Together with releasing the stable version for Firefox 10, Mozilla also rolled out the stable build for their email client, Thunderbird.

The list of newly added features for this release is very short and not at all unexpected, taking into consideration that they’ve been advertised in the beta, as well.

As such, Thunderbird 10 comes with built-in Web search capabilities, as you can see from the image above. Searching through email has also been improved in order to render more accurate results.

Although these are the most important modifications, the new build has been through an optimization process, which included the elimination of bugs tampering with the email drafting process.

Bug squashing aside, the current version of the client has a problem yet to be solved with viewing RSS feeds in Wide View Layout. The workaround is to disable Lightning Calendar add-on or switch to Classic View and restart Thunderbird.
