Mental note of an idea before I forget and never tell anyone: @thunderbird should adopt and dig in deep on being the best in class mobile and desktop client for #DeltaChat in addition to being an email and RSS reader. Compete on simplicity and features against closed, commercial Messangers, not just corporate email. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

you are 6 years late :) We already invited the Thunderbird core team for two days of discussing joint futures in 2019. For several reasons (pandemic disruption among them) they didn't follow up much. Maybe they also believed, like many others, that instant messaging via email can not work? In any case, they recently integrated a Matrix client, but TB's chat interface remains very bare bone. Should they revise their approach, we'd be happy to collaborate.
