And, after getting their system up, the wait will be even longer to get
the free service tier.

https://blog.thunderbird.net/2025/04/thundermail-and-thunderbird-pro-services/
"So here is the plan: at the beginning, there will be paid subscription
plans at a few different tiers. Once we have a sufficiently strong base
of paying users to sustainably support our services, we plan to
introduce a limited free tier to the public."

The announcement is 2 months old.  Anyone yet get access even if they
are paying for it?

Back in 2004, and earlier, getting a free e-mail account independent of
your ISP was a big deal, and users were willing to wait for an invite.
Free e-mail accounts are rife nowadays, so if Thunder devs take too long
then the hoopla over their service will fade, and they may not get
sufficient freeloaders that convert to paid customers to sustain their
services.

I haven't even them trying to paying customers which would then later
afford a free service tier.  I've not seen any marketing push for
Thundermail.  Seems their announcement was premature.  I have not found
a published timeline or road map for public consumption.  We wouldn't
know if the project stalls, and dies, or is still being worked on.
