And yes, such a replacement needs to include a simple and universal API for accessing data from all the providers, just like IMAP is. So that I can access my data at low level and treat it locally as I like with free software. The problem is: you don't seem to have even just a clear plan. You suggest "off line mode" in Firefox can help; I don't see how. From what I understand, "off line mode" is just a convenient way to deploy in-browser proprietary software. It may work around the practical consequences of losing control of your data. Which just encourages providers to take more and more control.

What will happen to Thunderbird? After all those PR calling us to get involved, where is she directing us to? Is she directing us to somewhere (or nowhere)? She still didn't claim her motive for the call in her blog. However, we shall see later. Has everything come to an end? What will happen to Thunderbird?

Also I'm not saying that webmail is bad, it's just one of the options to handle mail. We seem to agree that communication (mail and related stuff) are an important part of our Internet activities. There are many different reasons why one want to use a desktop mail application and why to use web based applications, something which some tried to explain here. Therefore innovation and support of the leading Mozilla applications are important to all of us! :-) Correct! Also I’m not saying that webmail is bad, it’s just one of the options to handle mail.

I'm just trying to point out that there is competition in the space for webmail and not all of it is designed to lock you in or put your data in someone else's hands. Webmail means a lot more than just Gmail or Hotmail. - A Eddy, I’m not in love with webmail.
