Deep into week 3 of the Mailbird Hackathon

Wow that was an intense last couple of weeks.

So as mentioned in "The Last Blog Post Before Mailbird 2.0 is Live" we kicked off the next big Mailbird hackathon at the beginning of this month of March.

It's been two weeks of grinding away for the Mailbird 2.0 launch and we are so happy to have finally shipped it. We've received hundreds of emails and requests since Mailbird 2.0 went live, and we are loving it! So great to connect with Mailbird users and to be able to listen to all the wonderful feedback and requests. Keep the feedback coming, and hang in there as we continue prioritization of the development of Mailbird 2.0.

The surge of traffic to our website, once Mailbird 2.0 launched, actually put our website down. We were able to get it back up and running in no time, and made sure to share via email and social channels an offline Mailbird 2.0 installer link so you didn't miss out. We are so happy to have brought Mailbird 2.0 to the thousands of people who were waiting patiently, and are so grateful for the tremendous feedback and support. Mailbird users are the best!

Other things we've been hacking away at:

1) Bug fixing.

2) Performance improvements.

3) Better stability.

4) Meebox email users can now easily manage their account in Mailbird, all the hard server setting work is taken care of by Mailbird.

5) We sent out new license keys to all Mailbird Pro and Mailbird Lifetime users.

6) Increased our chat support so people can get direct and real-time help when they visit our website.

Mailbird 2.0 is more than an email client.

It's your all-in-one communication hub with email, messaging, tasks, calendars and video meetings.
