Active Postbox user here. If I'm being honest, it's mainly a nice skin over Thunderbird, and inertia kept me on it all these years. With the wind down, I'll likely switch over to Thunderbird full time. I wonder how many other current users will do the same.

I did exactly that - and after installing Thunderbird i'm now wondering why i hadn't sooner. Looking far slicker than I remember.
Thunderbird has gotten a lot of love in the past 2 years. Still have random hangs and the like meaning I'm finding myself just using my mail host's web interfaces often, and search... is what it is, but it's better!
Any tips for switching from Postbox to Thunderbird? Will there be Postbox features I'll be missing? New Thunderbird features I'll be grooving on?

I’m wondering how much of it is under MPL then. The only reference I found is this: https://www.postbox-inc.com/coveredcode
