Imma wait for someone to fact check this, but holy cow that’s messed up. Thank god I only use thunderbird

- Yeah I am open to anyone who can prove this wrong/correct. I saw it and thought it needs sharing. I am more than willing to ask forgiveness afterwards :-) Luckily I too only use Thunderbird.
  
  Same here I use Thunderbird but I guess my work password is exposed
- Thunderbird
  What if you use the other bird?
