Just because they're not focusing on it or actively developing it doesn't mean you can't use it. I'm not going to uninstall it and switch to web clients. Yahoo's client sucks big hairy ones and I only have one email address.
I just use the Mail Client integrated in Opera.

This sounds bad but tbh thunderbird does all I currently need from a email application so im ok with it

I just spent 5 minutes nodding along with your avatar before I realised how retarded I was being.
I still use Mozilla Thunderbird on my other netbook, works better and doesn't hang as much as Outlook 2007.
EDIT: Is Thunderbird really that crap?
I remember using Thunderbird back in the day as a Usenet client. Never had a reason to use it for email.
I run Thunderbird in my tray and enjoy having little notifications popping up for new emails.
Rest in peace
Don't talk shit about Thunderbird.
What about Mozilla Seamonkey? Did people forget about that?
I guess email protocol doesn't really change as fast as web design in general, so it'll be good for a while yet
[QUOTE=Darkimmortal;36670726]IMAP clients are miles better than a web interface is or will ever be for anyone that uses email more than casually. And Thunderbird is pretty much the best there is.

Yeah, I think people still associate mail clients with POP3 which sucks ass. IMAP owns.
Thunderbird is pretty good, but I prefer Kmail.
[QUOTE=Forumaster;36668248]So, they slow down any real development of Firefox, and stop development of Thunderbird altogether.
What the fuck are they doing?[/QUOTE]

I don't think either of the two main protocols have changed drastically in the last decade, we've just tacked other protocols onto them for encryption and delivery. Quite easy to support changes like that due to how networking works, so it makes sense to work less on a stable, pretty much complete product.
I'm sure new features will be implemented as addons anyway.
Thunderbird is still awesome. It might have some issues in the future, if they stop supporting and updating it.
Any email management clones or variations?
