    In addition, we’re going to develop the tools that give people choices other than the big three.

    This sentence at the very end makes me very curious. Is this a hint for a Thunderbird mail service or something similar?

    On the one hand I would love to have a mail service offered by the Thunderbird team that would also fund Thunderbird development. On the other hand it’s probably not a good idea to split the development resources too thin.
