Please don't name it Thundermail

Thanks, I hate it

It would be preferable if they were hosted in either Czechia or Spain mew.

Specially knowing how anti-immigration policies, criminalisation of pro-palestinian movements and the current ascendance of fascism...

All kerfuffle about Germany aside, I'm at least interested to see where they go with this since I feel like Proton is kind of resting on its laurels as well as continuing to treat Linux users as second class citizens (I also had longstanding issues with Tuta, too long to go into here, but which would probably not effect most of its users).

Give it a name that tells you about the features, don't call it pro. Yuck.

I read through the brief article but I didn't see anything about email masks (or email aliases if you want to look at it that way). Firefox provides masks, they work well and are useful. I could see thunderbird adding that as part of the subscription service, since Mozilla is already doing it anyway.

Germany’s returning back to full fascism, with overt state surveillance. This is bad news.

I think this is cool and will make it easier for the average person to move away from the big tech providers that do the most damage to privacy.

Germany where support for Palestine and opposition to the genocide are considered antisemitism.

Betterbird is better anyways.

Maybe they can find a way to host from the Moon 🌕before the Chinese 🇨🇳 colonize it 😉.

Is one of those features not taking 2-3 minutes to start and removing the need for it to sync the entire email account over 5 - 10 minutes after loading? I like the program, but it’s clunky and slow. Couldn’t see paying for “pro” if that’s the finished product.

Who would be able to access my emails at rest?

If the answer isn't abso-fucking-lutely no one, I'm not interested.

Subscribers to Thunderbird Pro users get 500GB of storage space

That's big enough to do disk backups in the mailbox.

I'd prefer exchange support first.

I just like the idea that it’s using stalwart as the collaboration server (mail/calendar/contacts) [1].

I host my own personal mail server with it and have had no issues so far.
