I would like to see a mobile app.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;Opposite stance: please, Mozilla, do &lt;i&gt;not&lt;/i&gt; build mobile Thunderbird apps. That&amp;#x27;s tremendous effort, and IMHO too much for what you can do with the priority on Firefox, even with these new Thunderbird hires.&lt;p&gt;Focus on polishing and maintaining the existing Thunderbird the best you can with the limited resources you have for the project. You have a large existing userbase that will be extremely thankful for that.</text></comment>

(At one point, I tried all the available Thunderbird add-ons for syncing with Google&amp;#x27;s apps; none worked well for me.)&lt;p&gt;Even better than synchronization, I would love to have an alternative to existing online email&amp;#x2F;calendar&amp;#x2F;contact services.&lt;p&gt;If Mozilla were ever to offer its own &lt;i&gt;paid&lt;/i&gt; email, calendar, and contacts subscription service, powered by open-source code, and backed with strong customer&amp;#x2F;data&amp;#x2F;privacy protections, I would sign up in a heartbeat.</text></comment>
