Everything is possible when the budget is big enough. You say that Thunderbird
doesn't come close to Outlook, but it has a yearly budget of USD 7M. I believe
the combined budgets of TDF and the companies working on LibreOffice don't add
up to such a number. How, then, would we have the resources to maintain the
existing applications and build a new, very complex application from scratch?

This proposal has been rejected before and I will reject it once more.

I use Thunderbird personally and I don't agree that it is lacking compared to
Outlook. Maybe there is some special use case that you require that influences
your opinion.
