I hope Mozilla can show the full power of a standards-based approach for email, instant messenging or photo sharing, just like you did for the web! That is great news, really!

With a decent calender it can compete with Outlook." And yet there's been reference to Sunbird in any of this. Everybody's asking about calendars but nobody seems to want to answer. It's a core piece of functionality and I don't see people clamouring for VoIP in the same way. Just a few issues that people would like to hear about: Has the strategy for calendars, to do lists and so on been decided? Or, does Mozilla favour the Apple route of separate Mail and Calendar apps? (I personally prefer the other approach) What is the opinion on MAPI support in future? Is Sunbird still important to Mozilla? Is the Sunbird codebase suitable to be integrated into Thunderbird - is it good enough and portable enough? “The critical product is Sunbird. With a decent calender it can compete with Outlook.”

It has been much better than the MS Outlook that I had been using. It also integrates the RSS feeds from the sites I love. Great going. I only wish that there is a better solution to export the mails and the address book to other e-mail clients. This will help a lot when we wish to switch away to some other machine.
