Mozilla releases Thunderbird 3 Beta 3
Almost five months since the second beta of Thunderbird 3.0 was made available, the Mozilla developers have released the third beta for version 3.0 of their popular open source email and news client. Thunderbird 3 Beta 3 is based on the Gecko 1.9.1.1 platform and includes over 500 changes from the previous beta 2 release. According to Mozilla, many of the changes have set the groundwork for future changes.
The beta 3 release now includes support for tabbed email messages, so that when a users double clicks, or hits enter on an email message, it will open in a new tab window in Thunderbird. A new message view summary has been added that provides a summary view to users who select multiple messages and column headings can now be set on a per-folder basis. Users can now use a Smart Folders mode to combine special mailboxes, such as the Inbox, from multiple accounts.
Gmail integration has also been improved, adding support for Gmail’s special folders such as Sent and Trash. The third beta includes an early test version of a new Mail Account Set-up Wizard “to make configuring email accounts in Thunderbird easier and less error-prone”. According to a blog post by developer Dan Mosedale, the release includes several improvements for extension developers and a fourth beta is already being worked on.
More details about the release can be found in the release notes and change log. As with all beta releases, Thunderbird 3 Beta 3 is intended for testing and not for production use. Thunderbird 3 Beta 3 is available to download for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux in over 40 languages. The developers also note that Thunderbird 3 no longer supports Windows 95, 98, ME, NT and Mac OS X versions prior to 10.4. A final release date for Thunderbird 3, however, has yet to be announced.

Store Your Pictures With Pikeo
Pikeo is a beta product from France Telecom Research and Development LLC in South San Francisco and is not a “certified” France Telecom product. What does this mean in normal language? It means that:
* We think that pictures tell better stories when you can give people some idea of where they were taken. Pikeo lets you look at your pictures along with a map showing âthe scenes of your crimesâ.
* Pikeo also helps you organise your pictures in smart albums based on ‘what’, ‘where’, and ‘who’ information (called ‘tags’). You can decide which of your pictures you want to share with your family, friends and everyone else, and which ones you want no one to see. Ever, ever.
* Best of all, you’ll be in full control of your community via our innovative ‘Contacts’ browsing tool â which lets you keep the riff-raff out (unless your family and friends are riff-raff. Thatâs for you to decideâŚ).

About the drag and drop
Visual development environments typically let you manipulate objects in an application by selecting them with a mouse and moving them around the screen. Drag and drop lets you select an object, such as an item in a List control, or a Flex control such as an Image control, and then drag it over another component to add it to that component. You can add support for drag and drop to all Flex components. Flex also includes built-in support for the drag-and-drop operation for certain controls such as List, Tr e e, and DataGrid, that automate much of the processing required to support drag and drop.
The drag-and-drop operation has three main stages: initiation, dragging, and dropping:
Initiation A user initiates a drag-and-drop operation by using the mouse to select a Flex component, or an item in a Flex component, and then moving the component or item while holding down the mouse button. For example, a user selects an item in a List control with the mouse and, while holding down the mouse button, moves the mouse several pixels. The selected component, the List control in this example, is the drag initiator.
Dragging While still holding down the mouse button, the user moves the mouse around the Flex application. Flex displays an image during the drag, called the drag proxy. A drag source object (an object of type DragSource) contains the data being dragged.
Dropping When the user moves the drag proxy over another Flex component, that component becomes a possible drop target. The drop target inspects the drag source object to determine whether the data is in a format that the target accepts and, if so, allows the user drop the data onto it. If the drop target determines that the data is not in an acceptable format, the drop target disallows the drop.
A drag-and-drop operation either copies or moves data from the drag initiator to the drop target. Upon a successful drop, Flex adds the data to the drop target and, optionally, deletes it from the drag initiator in the case of a move.
The following figure shows one List control functioning as the drag initiator and a second List control functioning as the drop target. In this example, you use drag and drop to move the âTelevisionâ list item from the drag initiator to the drop target:

A single Flex component can function as both the drag initiator and the drop target. This lets you move the data within the component. The following example shows a List control functioning as both the drag initiator and the drop target:
