 shaver » Lightning drive-by
We’re looking to get a Lightning 0.8 out around the end of this month, in order to start to get user feedback on it, and shift the development model to one that’s a little more conservative in terms of architectural overhauls.
We’ve had a few contributed builds up on ftp.mozilla.org and posted about relatively quietly, but the software exists, and is available if you want to verify what it does and participate; to group it in with software that is announced but never made available to anyone is misleading, and insulting.
If Lightning doesn’t do what you need it to do, you should not use it — and you certainly shouldn’t use it if it’s worthless.

 Re: Mozilla Lightning: Not close to Outlook but definately a threat
If Mozilla completes Lightning, or Evolution gets ported to Windows I think it will be a major competitive threat to Microsoft.
Lightning is a v0.1 product, very flaky with the features it does have, and very lacking in other features:
This is not to say that Lightning is a bad product - it's in perliminary stages and there's no reason to expect anything else - it's just a bit early to start making predictions about its market value.
