Thunderbird

Last month we were encouraging everyone to stop using Internet Explorer and use Firefox instead.

This month, it's the turn of Outlook to be replaced. If you're bothered by the insecurities of Outlook, then you should take a look at Thunderbird. It's from the same people as Firefox and it's a very stable, very secure and standards compliant email program. Now you have no excuse for picking up viruses from dodgy emails.

And sometime next year you'll also have Sunbird - which will replace the calendering parts of Outlook.
