NOTICE! I am on mobile broadband with very limited time, so I cannot
read emails very much.
The best time to contact me is probably weekends when I have better
connectivity with good luck.

Looks like desktop email programs are fading in favor of webmail
solutions. Hopefully gmail will not be the new Ubuntu default.

what a pity,thunderbird client is my favorite project.
I, for one, am glad they're leaving something that works alone.
I wish Ubuntu would do the same. Just leave it to hell alone and fix
what's broken and get the ppa's updated with the latest and greatest
instead. THAT would be nice. I almost wish they'd roll back to 10.04 and
fix the broken bits. It's gotten wacko as of late. Ric

+1, but I am on 10.04 and the scheduler sucks. I'm used to the bfs patches.
Cheers, Gene

However when you look at the landscape of email, there isn't much change going on in the technology. Some of the core technology such as IMAP, POP and SMTP hasn't really changed all that much. I remember setting up my AOL email address in Outlook back in 2005 or so. The process hasn't really changed all that much and neither has the technology.
The other dynamics are that at one time, if you used the internet, you had to have an dedicated, desktop email client. That's no longer true. Younger people especially don't use email as much as sms, FaceBook, twitter, etc. They might use it, but its not a primary communication tool.
Secondly, desktops are giving way to mobile devices like tablets and smartphones for some of us. The percentage of users primarily tied to desktops is declining, and will continue to do so. Desktop email clients are becoming dinosaurs.

Presuming that "younger people" means 16 (or something near it), I use
email more that sms, FaceBook, twitter etc and I use it as secondary
communication tool (the primary is IRC).

I couldn't agree more.
The fun part is that I'm trying a headless server setup. The Ubuntu
version iso is a third larger than the Debian version iso. Ergo, just
from a base command line install, with no X11, Ubuntu has 1/3 again more
crap and fluff than Debian, which gets the same job done on less. And,
so it goes. Ric

You bet, if I can turn off un-needed features on my server, next I'll
work on my own brain! Buddha got it right. Ric
