Mail&News client (WIP)

Post by Moonchild » 2011-11-18, 16:52

Just FYI, I made a recent optimized build of Thunderbird which can be found on the Work In Progress page
http://www.palemoon.org/WIP/
The build system has been completely revamped for Thunderbird, so this is a new build from scratch - it also seems to no longer be possible to use profile guided optimization with Thunderbird which hurts the potential optimization I was able to do before.
I may look into building it further with Visual Studio 10, instead, which offers better speed without PGO than v8 does.

Has this project been abandoned?

I'm thinking: 64 bit version. :thumbup:

No, it's not been abandoned, I've just been too busy with other things ;)
This rapid release schedule of Mozilla causes a lot of extra work, so there's less spare time to do side projects.

Just thought I'd chime in and say that I'd love to see this project come to fruition, alongside the browser.

Pale Moon Browser + Pale Moon Mail = happiness. :)

Thanks from here too!
I've used it as my main mail client back then it was first released. Never had a single problem with it!

Please continue on this project when you have the time for it!
