Ubuntu might retire Thunderbird
 

Users use Google mail

The open saucy Ubuntu is considering dumping the thunderbird mail app because users tend to favour using webservices mail instead.

Ubuntu 17.10 may not include a default desktop email app at all and Thunderbird is Ubuntu’s default email app at the moment.

However apparently Linux geeks use web-mail providers like Google, Yahoo!, Outlook, or ProtonMail and really can’t be bothered with mail apps these days.

An email posted to the Ubuntu desktop mailing list said that the company switched Ubuntu’s default email client from Evolution to Thunderbird. Six years later, it is time to take another look.
