    You have always been able to use your own domain email with Thunderbird. The big news here is the fact that they are launching not only a web based mail service a la Thunderbird but also providing an email server for addresses of [yourchosenname]@thundermail.com. which is gonna be pretty great.

      I assume they mean that you can use your own domain with their email server.

      I.e point your MX records to them.

      Of course you always could use your own domain in their email client. It would be a pretty shitty email client otherwise.

        I’ve been using Thunderbird for email for years. I use it with some SMTP servers on shared hosting platforms, a yahoo account and a few gmail accounts - one with calendars. I don’t have any problems with it. Runs stable, doesn’t crash or do weird things. My only complaint would be search is a little clunky, but it works.

        I had to use Outlook client for year at another job and that client was hot garbage.

        Whats wrong with the thunderbird client.

        Even when I was on windows back on XP I used it. Never had a problem with it or its functionality, personally.
