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

[–] mke@programming.dev 12 points 3 weeks ago (11 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.

I assume they mean that you can use your own domain with their email server.

I.e point your MX records to them.

Of course you always could use your own domain in their email client. It would be a pretty shitty email client otherwise.
