   That's not such a big deal. You register the domain
yourself. This is just an offer to let you point the domain
name mx server at Mozilla. And the price hasn't been
announced yet. One can get webhosting with dozens of
dependable email accounts for cheap. I pay $12-13 for
a very dependable host. There are also cheaper options.
And webhosts generally also have webmail if people
want that.

   TMail sounds fine. Undoubtedly it will be at least somewhat
less sleazy than GMail and 365. (They should have options
for TMail. Thundermail sounds ridiculous, like some kind of
Marvel Mailman character.)

    Though it's missing the office
element that makes those other two compelling. College
students are being forced into one or the other, acclimated
early to the Google or MS "silo", as Tim Berners-Lee puts it.
College students are not going to be pushed into email and
calendars. That's not a product for them. So what are we
really talking about? Aside from minimal extras it's just an
email service.

    And for now it's mostly
just talk -- an "alpha" product with no details or pricing. From
a company that's been increasingly seling out. They claim no
ads or spying, yet FF is dabbling in ads. I currently block
Mozilla domains in HOSTS, just as I block Google, and for
the same reason: They call home without asking.

     I have two ISP email addresses and about 8 with my
webhost. All of those also allow me to delete email from
the server after downloading it. TBird is offering nothing
of value, and nothing notable in terms of privacy,  once
you figure in that it will cost money.
