SwiftMailer

[e-com]

What are the plans for SwiftMailer, whose project has been closed?
Are there plans to migrate to Symfony Mailer?

Plan is to remove it from core. Sending email functionality will be implemented as a system/library module. We want to reduce third party dependencies from core as much as possible.

It will be up to merchant to decide which email module to install. There can be module that sends emails using standard 'mail' php function. There can be a module that uses this legacy SwiftMailer library. And of course, a module that will implement sending using Symfony Mailer. I personally plan to implement module that will send emails using mailgun rest API. I'm sure there will be demand for amazon SES, although that can be part of symfony mailer as well...
