"Thundermail" will be part of a suite of Thunderbird Pro services, as the team behind the venerable Mozilla email client begins building a complete ecosystem.

Well: So far we no nothing about "thundermail"; and mozilla is already struggling with just making firefox good. Why not tuta/posteo/mailbox.org/disroot? Why put all your eggs in one basket? I'm already feeling uneasy with just using firefox.

At least Thundermail would be part of a "Thunderbird pro" package, so you would still be free to use Thunderbird with any of the above alternatives. I'd think the opt-in pro service would serve as a revenue stream to keep development going in all products, including the open source mail client.
