I know Fastmail isn't the hugest place in the world and the set of skills involved but it feels a bit insulting to roll this out rather than contribute into Thunderbird in a way to get what Fastmail feels is necessary out there.
Thunderbird has had a good number of QoL improvements, and the calendar plugins etc are quite niec. Just if one day search could... uhh... work, that would be nice
- defraudbah 1y agothey have an amazing team, integration with 1 pass, tons of good things and chose a shortcut like every other major company because it generates revenue, short wins over strategy
- rtpg 1y agoI don't hold it against them in the sense that this is the easiest stack to onboard onto, but all the recurring lost effort on native e-mail clients seem very unfortunate. Fastmail does, of course, probably consider its UI chops etc to be part of their value add. Just seems like if they also want to win over people who like native clients then "here's a bunch of shit that makes native clients also work very well with our offerings" is less of a lift while being more helpful overall. Maybe.
