We've been doing State of the Thunder, our bi-weekly deep dive into development and roadmap discussion, for a few months now! One common thing we hear is "this info is great! But, can you put it in a blog?" And starting with episode 10, we have. All of the latest Thunderbird updates and discussions, now in an easy to read format - with links to the videos and podcasts for those of you who still want to watch or listen!

We're growing our community team! Thunderbird has been so lucky to have a community that's helped us survive and now thrive, and we want a team that can help everyone who contributes to Thunderbird thrive just as much. Meet the members of the team and learn what they have planned!

Our community team has a new video series! "Contributing to Thunderbird" breaks down the barriers to developing, testing, translating, and supporting Thunderbird on desktop and mobile. Our first videos help you build a Thunderbird development environment on your Mac and Linux (specifically Ubuntu) machines, with a Windows video in the works:

It's OK for me. Works fine.

Recognition of tracking links in #thunderbird is a fantastic feature.


I still support my 87-year-old English teacher with her computer. It started in 2003 when I was 15. We bought her a PC, set up a WEB.DE email, and installed @thunderbird to avoid WEB.DE’s bloated UI. We’ve replaced the computer twice, but she still uses the same email address in #Thunderbird.

Today, she called and asked me to help her donate €50 to Thunderbird. When she hears how others struggle with ad-filled webmail, she’s always grateful for her clean, simple setup.

What an awesome move!


Our May Mobile Progress Report shows how we're:
*getting ready for JMAP in iOS
* planing early for TestFlight
* coordinating localization for both apps
* asking for feedback with the Android beta
* improving the account drawer and more

Ok, the #Thunderbird chat interface for IRC and Matrix seems to have #a11y issues with #NVDA now. Sometimes NVDA completely freezes, especially when the interface is maximised, though not reliably in all channels. I filed a bug, appreciate anyone who can dig into what on earth is going on: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.…

Are any other @thunderbird users seeing the issues that @winterschon wrote about in this post? I've been seeing the high resource usage, just not quite as high (but almost as high). This is one of the reasons that I'm moving back to Emacs for my email or looking for a client that is a bit "lighter" on the resource usage.

We've been talking a lot about roadmaps for the last four State of the Thunders, and this volume is all about priorities. How do we set them and decide on timing for certain items? How do we make mid-development adjustments? And how do we make sure our priorities are in line with what our users need?

We're also updating you on Thunderbird Sync (Yes, Sync!), Thundermail and the Pro suite, as well as our mobile development. Watch on TILvids:

Heading to #KotlinConf later this week? So are two members of our mobile team! Be sure to say hi if you see them in talks and in the hallway track, and we've even been told @kewisch is bringing some Thunderbird for Android stickers to share!

#Thunderbird #Kotlin


that sounds terrible!! Why spend so much resource (time, human and money) on something so closed as Apple's ecosystem?

I think you should put effort on improving interface and other features, to a point where #Thunderbird could be a strong plus for Android.

Don't get me wrong, Thunderbird mobile is good, but it can be so improved yet!


We've had a few iOS updates in the last few Android Progress Reports, but with more substantial iOS news, it's time for a name change! So here's the shiny, new(ish) Mobile Progress Report! ✨

Last month, we published our initial iOS repository, made plans for Testflight and laid out our intended initial features. We also discuss initial release engineering and localization decisions. For the Android app, we made a LOT of fixes. 🔧
