There was abloginnservice before persona iirc. Firefox hello. thunderbird.

Firefox Hello stands out to me as another case of Mozilla stubbornly trying to make something work for much longer than anyone on the outside would have advised. It started as an intern project to demo WebRTC and persisted for 3 years amidst incessant predictions of its doom.

Thunderbird has received continuous development and maintenance for coming up on 15 years since its public release.

It's not developed by Mozilla anymore though.

It's a community project now. So yes, is is abandoned by mozilla.

It's more complicated than that. Mozilla is financially sponsoring Thunderbird, and helping to aid in development.

I'd love for them to do more, but I understand why local mail clients aren't a growth area.
