Err... does this mean we can get a Mozilla or Thunderbird email address?

[–] mke@programming.dev 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yes, sort of. Thundermail addresses, apparently, or bring your own. From the linked article you're commenting on:

Users can send and receive email using new Thundermail accounts they sign up for. The service will also allow using your own custom domain (e.g. your.name@yourdomain.com).

You have always been able to use your own domain email with Thunderbird. The big news here is the fact that they are launching not only a web based mail service a la Thunderbird but also providing an email server for addresses of [yourchosenname]@thundermail.com. which is gonna be pretty great.
