Postbox, a commercial Thunderbird-fork, announced version 1.1. Postbox is available for Windows and Mac.
This new release includes a new and improved setup wizard for adding accounts that detects the email provider based on the email address (and probably MX record, as it detects Google Apps), more localization with new languages and improved performance.
The full release note:
Improved Performance – Postbox is now faster and more responsive!
Languages – Postbox now supports community-translated language packs, including German, French, Spanish (Spain), English (British), Italian, Dutch, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, and Swedish.
