Thanks, guys. Love your messenger.
Keep up the great work guys!
There is definitely a lot of potential for this project, a Firefox equivalent for IM could be catastrophic, I am very excited to see where this project goes in the future.
Just a quick question, is this project officially part of Mozilla, and if not is that something which might help moving forward?
@./cewood Thanks for the encouraging message! Instantbird is not a project of the Mozilla Foundation. Any additional resource might help. Additional visibility would definitely help.
Instantbird is so great and fast! I love it! Just a little more features (avatar selection + view in contact list, multicontacts, german translation) and I would kick Pidgin away.
