Huh??? What was it (or the new server) using? e-mail protocols have been
standard for years.

Please, where is this discussion taking place? I can find no references to
using Firefox as an e-mail client.  On the contrary, on the Mozilla web site
I find:

======== begin quote #1 =====

17 September 2007 Mozilla Launches Internet Mail and Communications
Initiative

Mozilla today announced a new initiative to stimulate innovation in Internet
mail and communications. Mozilla plans to develop Internet communications
software based on the Thunderbird product, code and brand. The new
initiative also aims to nurture a robust developer ecosystem in order to
drive improvements through open source and community innovation, in the
tradition of the Firefox web browser.

======= end quote #1, start quote #2 (separate part of same article) =======
Millions of people around the world rely on Thunderbird as their primary
mail application. Nothing will change for current Thunderbird users. Mozilla
will continue to provide Thunderbird users with regular security and
stability updates as it establishes its new initiative, and remains
committed to the needs of Thunderbird users.

======= end quote #2 =========

Of course one can use any browser as an e-mail client for services like
gmail, hotmail etc. but I don't think that's what you mean. Or ???
