You don&amp;#x27;t have to add new features, keeping it alive and simply fixing critical bugs is fine. Basically everyone I know would prefer a stable mail client not getting any new features over a few new features and addons breaking.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m really happy Thunderbird hasn&amp;#x27;t gone the way of the dodo.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Thunderbird’s New Home</title><url>https://blog.thunderbird.net/2020/01/thunderbirds-new-home/</url></story>
