    I’m one of those weirdos who actually likes an email client vs a web one. I have multipl email accounts and it’s nice to have one space for all of them. I used thunderbird for years and eventually caved and started using multiple tabs of web interfaces.

    With this announcement I said to myself hell let’s try it. Immediately upon installing it I thought I had the wrong version, because the layout was the same old layout that’s it’s always been and not the new vertical card layout they showed on the website.

    I was able to change it to look like their new modem redesign but it was not the default. So just a heads up to anyone who’s curious to try it because of the fresh coat of paint.

    I’m going to try it for the next few months and see how I like it again.

      Fellow weirdo here. I started using Thunderbird back when I stopped using (you’re not going to believe this) Eudora. I _loved _Eudora. it did everything I needed. TB’s been great for years, occasionally less than great but still pretty damn good. It’s like a progressive rock band that changes but still feels a bit familiar. Like Rush. Okay, Thunderbird is Rush. No wonder it’s so great. See? This is why we have the internet.

        I remember Eudora. Whatever happened to it? I seem to remember it made a rooster noise when mail arrived. Or maybe that was an extension we had.

        Also, I just made the connection that it was probably named after Eudora Welty, whose book I hated in school.
