<div class="moz-text-html" lang="x-unicode"> Perhaps the paradigm of
what Thunderbird is needs evolving from: just an email client
(just HTML email) →
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title></title>
<meta name="generator" content="LibreOfficeDev 5.3.0.1.0 (Linux)">
<style type="text/css">
@page { margin: 2cm }
p { margin-bottom: 0.25cm; line-height: 120% } </style> personal
information manager (PIM) → <b>communications platform</b> with
enterprise security, performance and partnerships based on open
standards which is suitable for all devices (desktop, laptop,
mobile, ...) and all platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS,
...)?<br>
<br>
<br>
An example of an enterprise partnership (apologies if the wording
is not the best):<br>
Be on time for your appointment with the Uber reminder app for
Outlook<br>

<br>
Is one of the first steps to enable multi-process/parallelism in
Thunderbird? These could benefit the following (this is not an
exhaustive list):<br>
<br>
1. Contacts (<a

<a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/cardbook/">https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/cardbook/</a><br>
<br>
(a) Synchronization<br>
<br>
(b) Opening<br>
Great job but slows down Thunderbird<br>

Still valid if contacts are stored in a database<br>
<br>
(c) Searching contacts<br>
<br>
2. "Saved Search Folders" updating speed in the email client<br>
<br>
3. "Quick Filter" search speed in the email client<br>
<br>
4. Calendar (<a
href="https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/lightning/">Lightning</a>)<br>

5. Circular (<a

Merge</a>)<br>

hard to see much benefit for multiprocess in TB, especially
given that HTML email tends to avoid features that truly stress
the backend. <br>
