<p>An android version would be something I think we should look at
before we go down a path of a browser app, perhaps leverage some
of the work done in the Firefox OS mail app. Before we are shamed
out of the market with poor ports.

You are already using a browser based app, built on the Mozilla
platform (i.e. Firefox).
<p>But I understand your concerns (I don't like Electron apps
anymore than the next guy). I'll let Magnus share what this future
might look like. But when running for Council he said:</p>

<blockquote type="cite">My vision for Thunderbird is that we'd
eventually (a few years) get to the state that it could be run as
a super fat, privileged web app with good system integration -
this way we can best leverage the Mozilla platform we're bound to.
In parallel we should get much better with utilizing the data
contained in mails, to help users be more productive and make them
look good doing so. Developing the overall product concept is also
important.</blockquote>
So that is one potential path forward, but there has been no
agreement on this - I was just laying out one option that has been
raised that was relevant to the discussion in that other thread.
Magnus also uses the word <i>"could" </i>which I think should be
considered in this discussion. Having it possible to run Thunderbird
in a browser doesn't mean that is the only way that it could be run.<br>

I for one do not want a browser based app.
