Incorporating emails, music, and usb devices will be the browsers of the future.

I can not say how you should do it but PLEASE let TB stay alive! Thanks a lot to all developers of Thunderbird and its Addons Best wishes from Vienna, Austria Since there are some powerfull plugins (like ‘lightning’, ‘enigmail’) Thunderbird has become more than a alternative to Outlook and Co.

Weren't all future versions of that client, with a still-pretty-significant install base, supposed to be based on Thunderbird? Seems like this is a real chance for Qualcomm to get involved in an exciting open source movement with a lot of momentum behind it. I wonder how this affects the development of Eudora.

There's really a need to improve the framework and ease of development in creating plugins and/or integration with other scripting languages. The future is about web-enabled applications and the web-browser (Firefox) is an important tool to that. This is not to say that thunderbird is unimportant, but it is unlikely to become a host environment for a web application. Likewise, it's good to hear that there are brave souls who are willing to move ThunderBird forward. I hope the community will continue to support the developers. Most of our clients have now switched to ThunderBird, and the improvement in the Mozilla framework will also be beneficial to ThunderBird.
