[OSM-talk] OT: How do you read OSM Emaillists?

[john whelan]

When Mozilla decide to freeze development on Thunderbird the team split off
and created Postbox.  I have Postbox and use it so bug me directly and I'll
see if it has the features you want.  It is very similar to Thunderbird and
is being actively developed.
