The web has thrown up two interesting Thunderbird links today.

Neil Turner provides a tutorial on getting Growl to notify you of new messages in Thunderbird.

The tip requires you to install the Yamb (”Yet another Mail Biff”) extension and to do a few things in the Terminal, but the end result is nice (as you can see in Neil’s screenshot):

Katy Whitton describes how she uses Thunderbird to implement David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” system.

She outlines her carefully considered Thunderbird tweak, moving step-by-step through her message triage, mailbox setup, the required extensions and her template arrangements.

You might want to compare this with Entropic Principle’s post on Thunderbird and GTD and/or consider how well Mail.app does the same thing .
