Mozilla Creates New Internet Mail and Communications Company

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tackle-spam-along-the-way dept.

Mozilla has announced a new initiative to overhaul email and internet communications in general. The new company, MailCo, will be given $3 million in startup capital from Mozilla to start with the Thunderbird code and work from there. MailCo will be led by David Ascher of ActiveState fame and, according to him, will be a for-profit venture without the emphasis on profit.

    If they want to make money, they should fix spam and privacy.

    Well, sure, and cure cancer and solve the halting problem while you're at it.

    Bluntly, there is no simple correct fix for either of those, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying or misinformed.
