Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service

Job applications, and several other sign ins still depend on email, so that’s going to be a bit of a hitch.

Yeah and then we can really go hard destroying the lives of people without phone access.
I work for a healthcare company that serves the under privileged and right now in most cities it’s easier to guarantee someone has email than a consistent phone number thanks to free WiFi hotspots. You can miss a phone payment and still read your email even if you’re cut off from cellular service.

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