General Software Discussion / are email clients sofware a dead industry ?
« on: March 28, 2008, 07:49 PM »
Actually wondering.
I have visited some Windows email client software websites, and while still actively developed, the extras they offer (skins, plugins, ....) while plentiful usually date few years back. No recent stuff.
Also few email clients come to mind that went bankrupt (or some other kind of metamorphosis, like Eudora) recently.
Did all the users move to Thunderbird?
Or did all the developers (as the skins and plugins were mostly third party stuff) move over to Linux ?
Sounds to me like this part of shareware market is dying out, or am I completely wrong?
