-The menus are crufty.  They need severe decruftification.  The current menus are as follows (or at least as close as I can make them, because my current trunk build shows differently, presumably because of unfinished aviary porting):

+''Looking for the [[Thunderbird:Old Menus|old menus page]]?''
+== Motivation ==
-Mac-only Menus:
+The current menus are bloated with extra functionality that is undiscoverable and as such becomes useless.  Having much more context relevant actions allows for a cleanup of the menus and better user interactions.
-*Thunderbird (Mac only)
+== Plan ==
-**About Thunderbird
-**Preferences...
-**Quit Thunderbird
-*Window (Mac only)
+We are designing for the menus we want and such will be removing all other menu items we don't want.  For each menu item we don't want it's necessary to evaluate it's functionality role and create a better system for using that feature.
-**Minimize
-**Zoom
-**Bring All to Front
-**Mail & Newsgroups
-**Address Book
-General Menus:
+== The Menu ==
-*File
+This is somewhat generic at first, then we can expand later to take care of platform issues.  Currently I'm starting with a Linux style menu layout.
