Which Gmail APIs? Has there been an update to IMAP that I'm not aware of?
I haven't used thunderbird in a while, have they not added an easy setup for people using the popular online mail servers yet?

India usually get those offline features much more faster than other countries for some reason. I wish we had these options in Canada, because mobile bandwidth is stupidly expensive over here.

Yes, something like that but without the need to create a separate foundation and corporation.
AFAIK, Mozilla has the structure they do because the IRS frowns upon charities (which is shorthand for "tax-exempt corporation") engaging in business-like activities but is fine with charities owning for-profit companies as a source of income (and like any shareholder can do, direct the for-profit company to benefit its owner). Regional differences may be relevant here: in Canada, you can incorporate a nonprofit corp…
The US works similarly. You incorporate as a nonprofit, but you have to separately apply for tax-exempt status afterwards. If you don't, you're a nonprofit without the benefits of being tax-exempt.

why do you care where the patches come from?
One might care where the patches come from as a volunteer community could be less reliable over time than the paid Mozilla staff. I know I certainly feel that way.
The people who are making these complaints are disproportionately those who have no problem using Debian or Arch, so I don't think that's the crux of the issue for them.

That's a paid service. Youtube-DL is free and open source.
It is YouTube's prerogative to offer that feature for their paid service.
I have used Pocket for the last five years or so. 99.5% of the articles I bookmark every day I never actually read. Probably should make me think why I use it at all...
What I've started using some time ago, though, is Reread.io – it sends you emails containing random articles from your saved list, on specified intervals. I have it set up to send me a couple each week, that way it doesn't feel "forced", and better than having them forever forgotten.

Millions of people want to use Thunderbird! I would even pay some amount for an "officially supported edition" of Thunderbird.
Why not postbox ?

Mozilla needs products that are relevant in the marketplace, to exist. Revenue is part but not all of this. I don't think Mozilla can make meaningful impact in a world where it doesn't make products that internet users want to use. It would be a largely toothless advocacy organization at that point.

Pocket, for me, is a weird product/feature. I've tried to use it, but it ends up just being like a clumsy bookmarking feature. Allegedly, you can read things offline, but that feature never works for me. It seems the feature for offline reading doesn't exist at all in Firefox (which I'd assumed was the point of its integration, but my assumption was wrong), and I've tried the Chrome desktop app and the Android mobile…
The Kobo ereaders have had Pocket integration for a while now, and it works great offline. My usual routine is to find interesting articles on Hacker News, and if they are longer than a page or two, click the Pocket button and read them at home on the ereader. A few don't render well (the article on Arrival/Story of your Life not being a time-travel story was a recent fail), but generally it works great.
Loved the book / movie but haven't read that article. Do you have the link? Thanks.
