Parent article: Thunderbird plans "Thundermail" email and other services

I can totally see why MZLA is doing this -- it's the natural direction of growth, and doesn't require making deals with any advertisers. Plus, with both Procmail and Fastmail creating their own bad press, folks are looking for non-gmail alternatives.

I don't know that I'll use it, but I'll at least try it.

For personal usage, mailbox does well for me. It costs money but it's a decent service. For business we run our own servers.

Like most people; for my personal emails I also run a local dovecot/postfix server for mail archives/backups, ensuring only the most recent mails are left on the servers.

The advantage here is that historic mails (over 6 months old) are no longer stored online and are only available locally. :-)
