NTT DoCoMo ISP ‘mopera U’ promotes Thunderbird

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Of the mobile phone network providers in Japan, NTT DoCoMo (Wikipedia) is the largest provider and has the broadest mobile network in Japan.  DoCoMo provides Internet access services for those people who require PC-based wireless broadband access to the Internet via DoCoMo’s ‘mopera U‘ subsidiary.

Last week NTT DoCoMo’s mopera U annouced an add on for Mozilla Thunderbird which configures Thunderbird with the settings for mopera U.  The user only needs to know their email address and password (the tool configures the other server/proxy/smtp/etc. information.)

Another major ISP in Japan, IIJ, has been distributing a customized Thunderbird for their users since 2006.

While the popularity of webmail is clear, there will always be a need for a mail client and I (and the many loyal Thunderbird uses in Japan) look forward to the actions of the new Mozilla Messaging organization.
