<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Martin,<br>
<br>
there may have been a misunderstanding then. The "read e-mail" bit
is the initial short term goal. I was just saying that it doesn't
make sense to plan specific integrations at the current time while
a rewritten Thunderbird hasn't yet started. Turning it into a
messaging platform that would allow for such integrations should
definitely be part of the plan.<br>

<div>Hi.<br>
<br>
</div>
Allow me to disagree. E-mail was the "killer application"
when the internet started, everybody wanted the internet at
that time to have e-mail. Now times has changed, check how
the millennials are using the e-mail now, they mostly use it
because it is a requirement to register to social media. <br>
<br>
</div>
If we only want Thundebird to "read e-mail", that's fine, but
that is what it is doing right now. If Thunderbird will only
focus on e-mail we are just putting some nails on the project
coffin. Maybe reading e-mail can be the initial short term
goal while the project changes architecture, but it will be
better if Thunderbird can be turned into a "collaboration
platform" in the long term future than just a "read e-mail"
tool. <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Maybe today we see millions of downloads of Thunderbird and
people/organization using it, but that can change very fast
based on how the internet works.<br>
<br>

thanks for making suggestions, we appreciate your
support! While I can certainly imagine integrations with
third party services and software in the future, I think
we should concentrate on the core functionality first (
like, reading email :D ) Once we are further down the
line we can consider such integrations.<br>
<br>
However, the next version of Thunderbird will be
designed in a way that it would be easy to hook in new
features, either through add-ons or as core code. If
done right, such integrations could also be contributed
by the community.<br>

Exactly. That's the plan.<span class="HOEnZb"><font
