Very exiting, here is the official announcement: https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/planning/T437cd854afcb1395
Thunderbird
Thunderbird is the leading free and open-source email, calendaring, newsfeed, and chat client with more than 20 million active monthly users across Windows, macOS, and Linux. One of Thunderbird's core principles is the use and promotion of open and decentralized standards.
This is an unofficial forum for Mozilla Thunderbird and feel free to join and discuss
Hell yeah I want a Thundermail email account. Weary of the monetization though but I know they need to fund it somehow. I think I'd rather have any other feature than AI. Like a calendar.
How about an AI Calendar! You ask what day it is, and it tells you it’s July 32nd, 1582, and that one Reddit user says “Kill yourself.”
I think a calendar will come eventually, all email clients feature creep and create a calendar.
You aren't wrong. I just know I won't need or use the AI tools so I dont want to pay for them.
I get that. I think for a large percentage, it will be just a way to donate and ensure longevity. If they can throw in a Firefox Relay type service, I would be overjoyed and have an excuse to throw money at them.
Now that would be cool. Something that we dont have to think about using, it automatically fills details and creates the relay while Thundermail is running. I would use that for just about everything I personally sign up for.
