Mozilla is having big problems, Firefox is on the decline when it could have emerged if it had not been the extravagant decisions of a messed-up team of deep thinkers who made the wrong decisions at the wrong time. Mozilla’s code architecture remains the basis, deeply modified here and there, optimized and rethought often, but from now on I know I can rely on Moonchild Productions for E-mail and for browsing without getting mad over the mutations of what was at one an independent state of mind.

I just moved from Thunderbird to FossaMail a while ago, anticipating the coming curve of Thunderbird, bound to copy Firefox’s disastrous “revolution” in coming versions. Thunderbird users will have no issues using the email program as it uses the same interface which makes switching to FossaMail a breeze.įirefox -> Pale Moon and Thunderbird -> FossaMail here, both an everyday pleasure on a 64-bit Windows 7 platform. So, if you want that, FossaMail is definitely an option.Īdd-on and plugin support may be an issue depending on API usage of said programs.


So why would you want to use FossaMail? The most obvious reason is 64-bit support for Windows which means that it can address more memory and perform 64-bit operations. There is no Linux or Max version available of the email client. Plugins on the other hand will only work if the right architecture is supported, but since plugins are not really used much or even at all in email clients, that should not be much of an issue as well.Īs far as requirements are concerned, FossaMail requires at least Windows Vista and a processor with SSE2 support. Since both clients use the same core it is unlikely that you will run into any issues in this regard. Most extensions for Thunderbird - and plugins - will work just like in the mail client. A special 64-bit version of Lightning is being made available on the official website as well which you can download and install in FossaMail to use the calendar add-on that Mozilla integrated into Thunderbird some time ago.
