Apparently two core developers working on the Thunderbird email client have quit. Following the continued development of Thunderbird should be interesting.
The two core developers of Thunderbird have left Mozilla. Scott McGregor made a brief statement: ‘I wanted to let the Thunderbird community know that Friday October 12th will be my last day as an employee of the Mozilla Corporation.’ Meanwhile, David Bienvenu blogged: ‘Just wanted to let everyone know that my last day at The Mozilla Corporation will be Oct. 12. I intend to stay involved with Thunderbird… I’ve enjoyed working at Mozilla a lot, and I wish Mozilla Co and the new Mail Co all the best.’ A few month ago Mozilla management considered abandoning their second product and setting up a special corporation just for the mail client.

Naturally there are lots of alternative email clients to chose from Eudora, Claws Mail or Mulberry but I really like using Thunderbird so I hope that it continues to develop.
