Firefox maker Mozilla prepares Gmail-like Thundermail
Briefly

Mozilla's Thunderbird is evolving as an open-source email client into a comprehensive communications platform to retain users from competing services like Gmail and Office 365. The team plans to introduce features such as Thunderbird Pro, which offers services including a scheduling tool and revamped file sharing capabilities. This is a strategic move to counter user losses attributed to the convenience of integrated commercial ecosystems, ultimately aiming to create a secure and open alternative for users seeking freedom from vendor lock-in.
Thunderbird loses users each day to rich ecosystems that are both clients and services, such as Gmail and Office365.
It is our goal to eventually have a similar offering so that a 100 percent open source, freedom-respecting alternative ecosystem is available for those who want it.
