Mozilla has announced it will be stopping development of Thunderbird email client because "continued innovation in Thunderbird is not a priority for Mozilla's product efforts." The company has been rapidly pushing out new versions of Thunderbird lately, including version 13 just one month ago.

On November 20th Mozilla plans to release one more version, bringing complete feature parity to both it and the Thunderbird ESR (Extended Support Release) version. Both branches will receive security updates every six weeks thereafter for the duration of the ESR lifecycle, which is currently capped at one year. The developer community at large will be able to participate in further development of Thunderbird moving forward, however, with Mozilla pledging to provide resources for said efforts.

There is no need of an email client! Checking emails in browser is now easy and fast. You can use extensions for the notifications.

You can use Gmail Notifier Plus for notifications.



There's also an official Gmail Notifier from Google.

There should be similar apps available for other email services.

dead, useless app is dead. I have never understood the idea of downloading and storing the emails locally when odds are, nothing is going to happen to them on the email server.

i mean really, when was the last time any one heard of an email provider (gmail, yahoo, MSN, etc...) deleting users emails?

Really, email clients = dead.

Win Live Mail is a bulshit come on man, I'm expecting good ideas from you not WLM bulshit

I was posting a free alternative. If you want a premium Thunderbird client that kicks ass then use Postbox (it's only $9).

Nope. Sorry, but I strongly disagree. Email clients are alive and well on mobile (extremely important) and desktop. I couldn't possibly see how I could make it through one day without business, education, and personal emails.

Nothing beats opening an app and getting all your emails. It goes way beyond just sending plain text.

You are bulshit

Windows Live Mail is as good as it gets given that it's a completely free full-featured e-mail client.
