Mozilla Launches Internet Mail and Communications Initiative

Written by Vygantas Lipskas on September 18, 2007

MozillaNot exactly “Web Browsers” related post. Some exciting news today. See Mozilla’s Press Release.

Mozilla today announced a new initiative to stimulate innovation in Internet mail and communications. Mozilla plans to develop Internet communications software based on the Thunderbird product, code and brand. The new initiative also aims to nurture a robust developer ecosystem in order to drive improvements through open source and community innovation, in the tradition of the Firefox web browser…

Mozilla will provide US$3 million seed funding to establish this new company.

The goals for the new company are:

  • Take care of Thunderbird users
  • Move Thunderbird forward to provide better, deeper email solutions
  • Create a better user experience for a range of Internet communications — how does / should email work with IM, RSS, VoIP, SMS, site-specific email, etc?
  • Spark the types of community involvement and innovation that we’ve seen around web “browsing” and Firefox.
