To the best of my knowledge, this was the first widely used web-based email option available. Then something called Hotmail came onto the scene. Next, you took the login credentials provided by your ISP, then configured local email clients like Outlook Express (Windows) to access them. To use these accounts, you needed to first setup the account over the phone with your ISP.

Telco ISPs and various dial-up resellers used to provide their customers with email accounts that were incredibly limited and annoying to use. There was a time not so many years ago when getting access to email meant having an ISP.

In today’s article, we’ll examine why this happened to Thunderbird and explore where email seems to be headed as a whole. What was once loved by legions of users has now been placed onto the market for others to adopt it. Most recently, the news that Mozilla is finally letting Thunderbird go took a lot of folks by complete surprise. Not because of anything negative, rather because Mozilla is trying to refocus their efforts with Firefox. Unfortunately over the past few years Thunderbird’s importance with Mozilla has faltered. The point is: Thunderbird is near and dear to my heart. I started using it on Windows and then installed it onto my Linux PCs later on.

I have used Thunderbird off and on since about 2003.
