It's in maintenance mode, so unlikely to happen, but ... please please add support for something which is not mbox format storage. Maildir, sqlite, whatever.

please please add support for something which is not mbox format storage.
Maildir, sqlite, whatever. I hate "From" inside an email becoming ">From". It's fragile as hell (although, last time I suffered corruption was in 2006 in Windows; never had my mbox corrupted in Linux).
Even with this, I prefer it to all other email clients, native or web, that I've tried.

Support for maildir format has existed since Thunderbird 12. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Pluggable_Mail_Stores https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Pluggable_Mail_Stores You can follow the steps outlined here but to minimize the risk of data loss, please back up your profile first. https://jaisejames.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/to-activate-maildir-in-thunderbird/ https://jaisejames.wordpress.com/2012/03/15/to-activate-mail... https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data...
