Let's answer another question from you.

Q: Are you planning Thunderbird integration with Telegram? For in-app chat, or for using as attachment storage?

A: Not right now, because Telegram is closed source on the server side. We want to focus on decentralized, open standard solutions.

To use it as attachment storage, anyone could write a cloud file extension: webextension-api.thunderbird.n…

Here are some existing solutions using services like Dropbox and Nextcloud: addons.thunderbird.net/search/…

Speaking of integration with open standard solutions...

How about bringing the #XMPP implementation to todays standard and have some good integration between the messanging/presence status side of XMPP and the mail side in Thunderbird.

For example checking addresses in mail if an XMPP address exists for that address and display the presence status if contact/web presence is found?

Is there an integration with @delta planned? It would require both to implement AutoCrypt (could also be useful for email in general) and adding DC has a IM protocol (it requires an IM UX, not a mail UX). I think it would be a easier to build (its 90% email) than a matrix client.

For voice/video chat integration, you COULD add webrtc plugins for things like Webcall servers or Jitsi Meet servers. Here's an example which someone built for Outlook: community.jitsi.org/t/plug-ins…
