We dive into the upcoming Thundermail web client, Thunderbird’s modernization efforts, community building, privacy, security, and the philosophy behind empowering users through open‑source tools. Ryan discusses data portability and rclone, Zeb brings his signature wit, and Jill leads the conversation with warmth and enthusiasm.

This episode ran long - in the best way - because the conversation with Monica was simply too good to cut short.
