Mozilla launched new Email and Communications Organization

Mozilla is launching a new organization to develop internet mail and communications software. It will use the open source email desktop client Thunderbird, as a base. It will remain a Mozilla subsidiary with Mozilla providing the initial seed money of $3 million to establish this new company.
The new organization will be led by Dr. David Ascher, currently CTO and VP Engineering of ActiveState, who joins Mozilla to carry out this job.

I am sure people invariably will have questions about potential cross-overs with Chandler but as far as we know, there are no news about an explicit collaboration between Mozilla and OSAF over the email application.
