  "account": "Mozilla's Thunderbird project is nearing the release of a hosted email service called Thundermail. Originally developed under the Thunderbird Pro banner, Thundermail now offers a web-based email interface and can be accessed through the Thunderbird desktop app, mobile app for Android, or other compatible email clients. The service remains free for users who sign up through a waitlist, but paid plans with additional features and storage will be offered at different price points. For the basic service, users can expect to pay $6 per month, billed annually. Thundermail's interface is clean and uncluttered, similar to Gmail, with folders for messages, drafts, and contact lists. The service is still in early access, with an expected full launch sometime in 2026.",
