- LeoPanthera 12y agoFunny, but how many open mail retrieval protocols are in common use? I can think of maybe two - IMAP and POP3, and a small selection of proprietary ones, dominated by Exchange/ActiveSync. The time is right for a better standard.
- brongondwana 12y agoMy presentation to the Thunderbird folks led with that, and we would have used it at Inbox Love too if we'd had time, but a 5 minute presentation had to get straight to the point. It's a good comic. Good point. We didn't take this decision lightly. There are significant reasons why all the existing standards don't do what's needed, and we made sure we built a technology preview and used it in the real world first - check the video or try out FastMail yourself.
