We are looking at addressing Gmail label support and ensuring that other features specific to the Gmail experience translate well into Thunderbird. One of those in better Gmail support, as one of the biggest email providers it makes sense to focus some resources on this area. For instance, one area of usability that we are planning on addressing in 2019 is integration improvements in various areas. Beyond that, we will be looking into leveraging new, faster technologies in rewriting parts of Thunderbird as well as working toward a multi-process Thunderbird.
This is an area where I think we will see some of the best improvements in Thunderbird for 2019, as we look into methods for testing and measuring slowness - and then put our engineers on architecting solutions to these pain points. Our new hires will also be addressing UI-slowness and general performance issues across the application. In the blog post Wednesday, the company said: Our hires are already addressing technical debt and doing a fair bit of plumbing when it comes to Thunderbird's codebase.
But the company, which grew its team to eight staff last year, says it plans to address most of the issues that users have complained about and add six more people to Thunderbird staff this year, it said in a blog post. For years, Mozilla has largely neglected development of Thunderbird, an email client it owns.
