great idea looking forward to using the service! But why use MailChimp for the email waitlist ? I know it's easier but a bit of a disappointment for an open source loving user base don't you think ? It contradicts the principles put forward in the article in my view...

I'm currently a long-term Fastmail customer and am very happy with it. I use Thunderbird on desktop with it and Fastmail's mobile app.

I'm more than willing to have a look at the upcoming Thundermail service. Those default domains look good. It could make a nice gmail/yahoo replacer.

Thundermail? Very good news! But, email is too important to migrate twice. l'd migrate from GMail to Thundermail if there is some guarantee that the service will last for a long time.

I would like to be able to forget the discontinuation of FirefoxOS, Firefox Send, Firefox Notes…

As long as the "pro" offering appears only once upon the "setup new email account" and no random nagging popups bloat the app, it may reduce the amount of people tied to GAFAM bad actors. But let's hope the default option remains "Setup your existing email address..." Why don't use a dropdown like you already do when "offering to share files largen than..." (eg filelink via dav). A feature its only trully optional when there's no nagging or misleading interaction.

this is great. What i miss is a Calender Option. Shareable calender included would make it even better

An interesting project.
Having said that, I only use Thunderbird to archive my e-mails, as the ergonomics and design are really not modern. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why users are switching to well-known platforms.
With this project, are you also planning to overhaul the ergonomics and design to keep up with modern tools ?

- I'm really looking forward to this. Keep the ideals and visions, and improve on them. I'll switch to your services for sure, with all my domains. 😃

Servers in the EU are great, but what about data extraction requests from the US government? MZLA ist an US company, so you will need to comply?

I love Thunderbird, and I would gladly pay for an email service plus calendar directly from Thunderbird. My questions are, will the calendar eventually be integrated with Thunderbird Android? Will it be a standalone app? Will it support CalDAV, so I can use it with Appointment or Tasks.org?

@paulhullford Thanks for asking! These are two separate products, and right now, there's no timeline for a built-in calendar on the Android app. But a good way to show support is upvoting suggestions like this on Mozilla Connect: connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/c…

Calendar support on Thunderbird mobile

It would be great if Thunderbird mobile supports calendars like the desktop applications supports calendars.

thanks for the reply and informing us they are seperate products. This will temper expectations.
