Getting closer to releasing Thundermail, Thunderbird Appointment and Thunderbird Send to the world.

Built on open source and open standards - we're working to make a suite of tools that help people break their reliance on big tech (think Microsoft O365 and Gmail).

Looking forward to sharing more.
