Every time I am excited to try Thunderbird I am sent packing because of all the features that are barely implemented or don't work well. The practice of having plugins do core functionality is just not a good idea. Things that 90% of the users use should ship in the product. For instance, cloud Exchange support is lacking. I couldn't even login to my work account, while other clients (Windows Mail, iOS, Outlook, etc...) have no issues whatsoever. The calendar is just awful. The contacts is completely bare bones. Here is hoping the new folks breathe some life into it.
