Mozilla is working towards making some major changes to its Thunderbird desktop email client. The changes would reportedly include a facelift to the User Interface (UI) and better support for Gmail on Thunderbird, the free and open-source cross-platform email, news, RSS and chat client.
According to the company, the impending updates in 2019 would be possible due to Thunderbird's growing staff, which currently include eight employees with six more on the way.
"Most of these people ... are engineers who will be focused on making Thunderbird more stable, faster, and easier to use", Ryan Sipes, Community Manager, Mozilla Thunderbird wrote in a blog post late on Wednesday.
