= A Heavily improvement of MAPI-support = | |||
MAPI-support is still a major issue in Thunderbird. Providing MAPI-support in Thunderbird 3 would even address two of the four goals for Thunderbird 3 as described on the [http://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Thunderbird3#Goals_of_the_Thunderbird_3_Release planning page]: | |||
<u>Goal 2: To increase adoption of Thunderbird</u><br /> | |||
Currently there's (very) low adoption of Thunderbird by users who need MAPI, because Thunderbird 2.0 doesn't fully support Simple MAPI. Increasing MAPI support would mean a new group of potential users. | |||
<u>Goal 3: To improve usability</u><br /> | |||
Currently users have to experiment with 3th party plug-in's to make MAPI more or less functional. Also as described on [http://kb.mozillazine.org/MAPI_Support MozillaZine], these plugins and their support are buggy. Native support for MAPI address the usability issue for these users. | |||
Beside addressing these goals it would also target a bunch of bugs (a [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=MAPI search on "MAPI"] gave me 63 results), varying from minor to critical. | |||
