I agree that the Seamonkey email client "is already pretty much what its users want" -- but that doesn't mean we wouldn't want something even better, or at least have confidence that we won't be losing a familiar tool that so many of us depend on so heavily all day, every day. I've fallen completely for the Sync feature, and have been dreaming about being able to Sync address books across my computers. It's quite a shock to hear the opposite, that the Mozilla folks are about to abandon further development of Thunderbird, and by extension Seamonkey too. The idea that webmail is clearly superior is incredibly absurd! I'm glad it works for lots of other folks (though I suspect mainly because they don't realize there are superior alternatives). I use webmail often, and hate every minute of it.... _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
