I've got a feeling that mozilla does a lot of work on FF integration with Mac OS, whereas thunderbird is left far behind... even though it's native cocoa, but still looks like an ugly duckling...

So it will become possible to access and change email metadata and add own (for extensions) metadata fields easily? I am enthusiastic. I finally see extensions for better desktop semantic indexing, for adding notes to emails, for adding follow-up actions and deadlines to emails, for tons of really useful things i have been missing for years! Heh, great!

Seeing as it will likely be dead shortly after the release it will still be nice to see coverage. Thank you for covering this pending Thunderbird release.

Integrating lightning is nice, but would be much more useful after such an API change because the current anachronistic and very limited metadata back-end prevents many useful features. Kill mork finally and use a decent database. And getting rid of MBOX would be a good idea too.

The tab feature is close to what I had requested (obviously, many others also requested tabs), but not quite there. What I'm hoping for is the ability to have different accounts in tabs. In other words, my Gmail account would be one tab and my Yahoo account another (well, that's assuming they guys who make Webmail make it work with TB3). THAT is what I see as a great way to de-clutter the interface. Under this design, I would hope to have Lightening as a tab as well. As others have mentioned elsewhere, Exchange support would be very helpful. (Before somebody slams me for mentioning Exchange, keep in mind that, though it sucks, it is dominant in business and needs to be supported.) While I'm not holding my breath, IM support (in a tab, like I mention above) would also be nice. That would make this pretty much a complete communications package for me.
