3. Thunderbird Team <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E"
href="mailto:noreply@thunderbird.net" moz-do-not-send="true"><noreply@thunderbird.net></a>
email entitled “Thunderbird in 2020” states:<br>
<i>Some of the notable improvements we are working on include:</i><i><br>
</i><i>* New Address Book</i><br>
<br>
(a) Should the “New” be replaced with “Improved”?<br>
“New” does not necessarily mean “Better”<br>
Thunderbird 68 is newer than Thunderbird 60, yet a lot of add-ons
don’t work and the features are not available in Thunderbird
out-of-the-box.<br>
<br>
4. The Thunderbird Status Meeting of 10 December 2019 states:<br>
<i>* In progress:</i><i><br>
</i><i>* Address book new API planning</i><br>
