Mozilla needs to fix their poor image before trying email.

Frankly, after the last few years I don't trust them with a browser, let alone email.

Not happening. I already pay for an email service that has been privacy centric from the start, and has none of the bad news Mozilla does.

Mozilla has flat out lied to us about changes in Firefox with "No, you just misunderstood what we're doing" . Why should anyone trust them with email?

Pound sand Mozilla.

I like Firefox

Despite the headline, this is being done by Thunderbird, not Mozilla

Thunderbird is completely independent of the Mozilla Corporation, the makers of Firefox. But the Mozilla Coperation[sic] supports Thunderbird by hosting many of the Thunderbird infrastructure and resources.

Well, the alternative is worse, so I am still on Firefox

Try Firefox forks like Librewolf, Waterfox, Floorp that are not associated with Mozilla.

Agree, the trust is lost and they did nothing to help their case.
