Mozilla claims that the early bird subscriptions will be used to finance new services, development, and security features. It&#8217;s important to note that this is not the pricing for the final product, which remains unknown at this stage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BOTTOM LINE<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure if Thunderbird Pro is attractive enough to sway home users away from their current email service, especially with the ongoing cost. I do like the sound of the &#8220;Send&#8221; feature, and the &#8220;Appointment&#8221; feature would appeal in corporate\/enterprise situations.<\/p>\n<p>I suspect that Thunderbird Pro&#8217;s customer base might mainly consist of companies and organizations.
