IceDove is an e-mail client distributed by the GNU Project. IceDove is a fork of Mozilla Thunderbird which is made entirely of free software.

With IceDove, the GNU Project aims to provide a version of the Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail client which is kept in synchronization with upstream development of Thunderbird. It removes the proprietary artwork and software plugin repositories used in the official release by the Mozilla Corporation, which are classified as non-free by free software advocates.^[who?]

[edit] Standards support

IceDove supports POP and IMAP. It also supports LDAP address completion. The built-in RSS/Atom reader can also be used as a simple news aggregator. IceDove supports the S/MIME standard and extensions like Enigmail add support for the OpenPGP standard.
