Mozilla May Drop Email Client Thunderbird From Its Roster

Mozilla may be looking to separate itself from its email, chat and news client Thunderbird. The company built the service in 2004, but hasn't updated it since 2012. "I believe Thunderbird should would thrive best by separating itself from reliance on Mozilla development systems and in some cases, Mozilla technology," Mozilla chairperson Mitchell Baker wrote in a memo posted on Mozilla’s public governance forum. "The current setting isn’t stable, and we should start actively looking into how we can transition in an orderly way to a future where Thunderbird and Firefox are un-coupled."
