Em is there anyway to make firefox check thunderbird for new emails every 5 minutes and if there is a new email to notify me without setting thunderbird as the default mail client? Or in outlook express 6 to notify me when a message appears in a certain folder and to check every 5 minutes.
On and maybe some way of opening links i click in thunderbird with ff w/o making ff the default browser?
I really need to accounts on this pc
Sorted: To open mailto links in thunderbird use launchy
Then use minimizetotray extension to get thunderbird to check for emails but not be displayed in the task bar

Thunderbird 2 beta 2 is released (actually it was released on 23rd Jan, but what's a few weeks between friends?), the list of new features (which looks pretty impressive to me):
get it here, or the portable version here* Message Tags: Create your own tags for organizing email. Messages can be assigned any number of tags. Tags can be combined with saved searches and mail views to make it easier to organize email.
* Visual Theme:Thunderbird 2's theme and user interface have been updated to improve usability.
* Session History Navigation: Back and Forward buttons allow navigation through message history.
* Folder Views: Customize the folder pane to show favorite, unread or recent folders.
* Improved Support For Extensions: Extensions can now add custom columns to the message list pane in addition to storing custom message data in the mail database.
* Improved Offline Management: Thunderbird (Linux and Windows) automatically adjusts the offline state based on current network connectivity.
* Improved New Mail Notification Alerts:New mail alerts include information such as the subject, sender and message text.
* Folder Summary Popups: Mouse over a folder with new messages to see a summary of the new messages in that folder.
* Saved Search Folder Performance: Search results for saved search folders are now cached, improving folder loading performance.
* Find As You Type
* Improved Filing Tools: Recent folder menu items for moving and copying messages to recently used folders. Move / Copy again functionality.
* Updates to the extension system: The extension system has been updated to provide enhanced security and to allow for easier localization of extensions.
* New Windows installer: Based on Nullsoft Scriptable Install System, the new Windows installer resolves many long-standing issues.
* MacOS X Universal Binaries
