Isn't Thunderbird developed externally and not a Mozilla product? It appears so, from Wikipedia. Same thus for K9. OTOH, I blocked mozilla.social and obviously didn't want anything to do with Mozilla, so I also deleted my Mozilla accoubt in 2021. As far I am concerned, they could disappear tomorrow and my life would change exactly 0. I'm only happy that the incompetent CEO is gone. She was able to destroy Firefox.

No, sorry, I won't. A lot of Mozilla's fans would reply trying to convince me I'm wrong or just insulting me (it already happened). I'm not interested in engaging on this topic.

It would have been better to simply not reply, rather than this woe-is-me persecution complex thing.

If you aren't interested in engaging on this topic then why not delete your comments on this topic and stop replying on this topic. Your comment's logic is ridiculous.
