@IgorRock @thunderbird Hey Igor, I run Thunderbird's marketing and communications.
Your comment about adding another database that can be breached or leaked resonates with me. And it's a very valid concern. I feel like we're all growing weary -- and angry -- over the constant breaches involving our personal information...
What I can promise you is that we're having internal discussions about this, and evaluating whether or not this is a policy we should continue.
Thanks for the feedback.
