In reply to their blog "Thunderbird Is Thriving: Our 2022 Financial Report", I had two simple questions for #Thunderbird: "What did the top 3 donors donate, and who were they?"

Yesterday, these questions went from "Your comment is awaiting moderation" to gone within 2 hours (see screenshot).

What's there to hide, @thunderbird and Jason Evangelho @killyourfm?

Boosts are appreciated.

@jamesp I did not know this. Will add next time I’m at my desk.

#thunderbird seemed stuck in the 80s for so long and has now leaped into the early 2030s :blobcathappy: ok, maybe not that far but so much nicer than it was and I’ve been using Thunderbird since the dawn of time :ablobcatcoffee:


Our mission is to build the best email client we can. To make professional software that puts your privacy first. To boost your productivity, compliment your daily workflow, and meet your customization needs.

To expand the #Thunderbird experience to Android and iOS. And to do it all transparently, guided by the values of free and #OpenSource software.

Last year, our donors gave us a clear signal that they believe in that mission, too!

Here's our 2022 Financial Report:

blog.thunderbird.net/2023/05/t…


Today I am tremendously grateful for the 300K donors who gave a record-breaking amount to the @thunderbird Project in 2022.

And I'm tremendously thankful to be part of such an incredible #OpenSource project. One that is undoubtedly thriving, when only a few years ago its existence was in question.

Here is the 2022 Financial Report for #Thunderbird. I hope it inspires you to consider a financial gift to your own favorite #FOSS project.

As you'll see, it matters:

By default, #Thunderbird automatically blocks images in your emails from being displayed -- because many of those images may contain tracking code.

(Sometimes these images are tiny "tracking pixels" you may not even see).

Take your protection one step further by installing #uBlock Origin to block all kinds of unwanted content in your RSS feeds -- it's now an official Thunderbird Add-on: addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/t…

We are very proud to be sponsoring #LAS2023 in #Brno this weekend!

Jason @killyourfm will be in attendance with a LOT of #Thunderbird stickers and T-shirts to give away to our #Linux family.

Look for him at the venue all weekend, and at tonight's welcome party -- he'll be wearing a black Thunderbird shirt with a white logo that looks like this:


Having recently joined us from Berlin as a full-time #Android developer, @wmontwe brings his passion for building mobile applications to the Thunderbird team. He’ll be helping to develop new features and an updated interface for K-9 Mail as we transform it into #Thunderbird for Android.

We talked about his first PC (and hacking on games to get them to run), what he hopes to accomplish for the Thunderbird mobile app, and how our community of contributors can help.

Why not just integrate the extension "Expression Search - NG" and be done with it?

Me and guy named ali-savas have filed most of these as proper mozilla bugs. Alesandro, Elizabeth and other people on the #Thunderbird team are tackling these as they can. I can already see some of them being addressed in nightlies. Would you like me to post links to individual bugs?



There's a new #Thunderbird idea on Mozilla Connect:

"Dismiss New Email Notifications When Email is Clicked [LINUX]"

Discuss it or vote on it here: connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/d…




Bug fixed! Thanks to @thunderbird. I have to say that #Thunderbird is indispensable for me, not only for email management but for my workflow arround appointments: is the only way, in #KDE #Plasma, to get full featured and reliable desktop notifications for meetings managed in Google Calendar 🙌


We are actively monitoring your Thunderbird feature suggestions at Mozilla Connect, but “voting up” ideas from the community is crucial.

There are currently 287 Thunderbird ideas at Connect, many of which need more discussion and votes.

Here are the top 20:

Alex Castellani (@alecaddd) is leading the charge on Thunderbird’s modern redesign, and we're thrilled to have him on the team!

But before he discovered the awesomeness of #OpenSource, he had to learn a hard life lesson about pricey, proprietary software...

Find out that story and much more in our "Meet The Team" series, a series of conversations with the people behind the software you use every day.

I just installed #Thunderbird (email client) for ... reasons, and when i open it up I see this weird octopus dude. Why am i seeing an octopus mascot thing instead of a bird mascot thing?!



In fact, I learnt a lot about how #Thunderbird and @mozilla are actually related, and I always thought it's a hardwired #Mozilla product just like #Firefox.

I'm really looking forward to the improvements in Supernova and also future updates to #K9Mail. I used to be a #GMail user but ran into performance problems on older devices and under bad networking conditions. Not a problem for good old #IMAP! :)

Welcome to the debut episode of the Thunderbird podcast, which we're affectionately calling the ThunderCast!

If you're an #iOS #developer, love #opensource, and have a certain passion for email, you should definitely keep an eye on the #Thunderbird careers page!

thunderbird.net/careers/

Within the next few months, we'll be hiring someone to help us lay the groundwork for Thunderbird on iOS. When that career opportunity goes live, we will announce it here.

(So yes, we can 100% confirm we plan to develop an iOS version)


I updated my #Thunderbird Beta, and was welcomed by the redesigned navigation bar, part of the Supernova roadmap.

I quite like the UI changes so far, well done @thunderbird 👍


You're looking at the #Audacity project for Episode 1 of Thunder⚡Cast, our new monthly podcast.

We recorded it on Friday, and it's being edited into shape this week. Expect it before the end of the month. We'll share the RSS feed when it goes live.
