Thunderbird Plan
Mitchell Baker, CEO of the Mozilla Corporation, has announced Mozilla’s plans for funding and promoting the Mozilla Thunderbird and other Internet communications initiatives.
The Mozilla Foundation will be creating a separate organization to run, fund, and market the new communication related products. As avid Thunderbird users, we’re excited about the news. Especially in the wake of other news this week.
For the future, we would still enjoy seeing increased focus given to the Mozilla Platform. For now, though, we’re excited about the new “MailCo” being formed by Mozilla, and look forward to wonderful things for Thunderbird users everywhere.

I normally don’t make these kind of “house calls” but I will make an exception of family, friends and church members. An elder in my church was having trouble sending e-mail and he was using Netscape Mail on OSX 10.3. I converted him over to the latest version of Firefox and Thunderbird and all worked fine. He is currently and Earthlink customer and despite the smtp intruction wit Netscape he couldn’t send. After switching over to Thuderbird not only did it send but it was a lot faster even on his slow connection in a remote area of Travelers Rest.
