Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service
1984@lemmy.today 3 weeks agoNo its never going to disappear. If you are referring to people using slack and chat apps, those are locked in walled gardens where your messages cant ever leave.
Email can be moved anywhere easily.

On top of that, people still use email to sign up for these gardens. Technically, you could use your phone number too. I wonder how far could you take this idea of living completely without email.
Job applications, and several other sign ins still depend on email, so that’s going to be a bit of a hitch.

Oh, that’s a very good point! Makes you look at this proposal in a completely different way.
