Your Thunderbird icon doesn't fit the bill any more. Email apps have semi-standardized on using an image or cartoon of an envelope as the outline shape for the mail app. You guys need to do something to make your app less like a circular blob and more like a Mail-shaped app icon. Integrate the Thunderbird theme into the envelope shape in a novel way, but don't totally obscure the known shape. This is bad:</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="AMDphreak_0-1693892358791.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/4296i8BE7BA5EBE231211/image-size/medium/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="AMDphreak_0-1693892358791.png" alt="AMDphreak_0-1693892358791.png" /></span></P> <P>Also, include the word "mail" in the title of the app, and/or encode both "mail" and "email" as an alternative look-up term for Windows Start menu.
