    Disclaimer: I haven’t read the article

    A wise choice in this case. It’s 23 paragraphs that mostly describe standard Thunderbird features (as the author usually does not use email clients) and only one list with three (!) bullet points of new features in Betterbird.

    Edit: to save you a click, here’s the list from the article (the actual feature list on the project page is longer):

    Some notable features include:

    • System Tray Icon (Linux)
    • Accent Colors (for folders)
    • Multi-line Inbox View (disabled by default)
    • @[email protected]

      System Tray Icon?!? What is this sourcery?

      Sounds so futuristic. I mean I may be stuck in the 70s reading my electronic mail in pine on a pdp11, so that may influence my judgment.

        The current beta versions of Thunderbird are implementating a tray icon for linux so soon this fork seems like it’ll only have 2 unique features…

          And even with that proviso, I’ve been using birdtray for ages, and it works well enough.
