The Dollar Campaign For Thunderbird Devs

Posted by timothy on Tuesday December 21, 2004 @12:00PM from the reasonable-is-an-understatement dept.

Robert Accettura writes "In a rather comical spirit, Seth Spitzer (of ex-Netscape fame) is asking Thunderbird users to donate one dollar (or about 0.77 if you're in Europe) to Scott and David, the lead engineers of Thunderbird. Unlike Firefox, with quite a large community submitting patches, Scott and David have been working with much less community aid, and still managed to deliver a very solid product. This is a little way to thank them for managing to do so much with so little to keep our inboxes free of spam and easy to use."

Thunderbird? Ugh, they should pay me! by Dr.+Spork · 2004-12-21 13:24 · Score: 0, Flamebait

I almost lost my job because Thunderbird decided to stop fetching emails without any warning, and it took two days before I got to read the messages with titles like "Catastrophe immanent, reply immediately!!!" That bug is still not fixed, btw., just in case some of you also have a job that sometimes sends you important emails.
