Mozilla released Mozilla Thunderbird 20.0 Beta 1 for Linux, an email and RSS client, featuring numerous bug fixes and improvements.

Mozilla has announced a while ago that the development of Thunderbird will cease in the near future, but, for now, they are adding quite a lot of new stuff.

Highlights of Mozilla Thunderbird 20.0 Beta 1:

• Users can now send emails to IDN-based email addresses; • POP3/IMAP/News/LDAP server validation is now required; • The "Recent" submenu of folder picker will now share the class of the parent menu; • Clicking at the top edge of screen will now select a tab, when the application is maximized.
