You've got questions, and we've got answers! We took feedback from recent social media, mailing lists, and in-person conferences, gave it to our team in last month's office hours, and then turned those answers into a blog! 📖

So if you want to know more about Thunderbird for Android features, or when full sender names are coming, read this short and sweet post full of information! 💡

After a stable release of K-9 Mail, our Android team usually spends a couple weeks fixing bugs. The bug hunt takes center stage in this month's #Android progress report, with cketti and Wolf ironing out a BUNCH of them.

We want to find bugs before our users do! So, since the release of 115 Supernova, we’ve been putting a much stronger focus on improving our automated testing.

Read all about it in this new blog from Staff Engineer Geoff Lankow:

@WestphalDenn @Talon I don't think it's that catastrophic as this sounds any more. I can't say this is not happening but it's very rare. I am on @GNOME . If I get an unresponsive experience I can press alt+F2, type in orca --replace and the screen reader comes back. I can even bind this to a global keyboard shortcut.
When I am leaving my office I am often closing some 15 browser windows, some 10 terminal windows, about 5 different files open in the text editor.
Most used apps on my desktop include #Firefox #Thunderbird file manager (pcmanfm or nautilus), Gedit, VLC media player, electron based apps such as teamsforlinux, losslesscut and gnome-terminal.
Next I'm using @LibreOffice, I am also using #Emacs with #speechd-el a little and finally some other less frequently used apps.
As for the #TTS or the #audio setup I am using #RHVoice, speech-dispatcher and @PipeWire Project .
Finally with @Matt Campbell and @Lukáš Tyrychtr we do have tallented visually disabled developers dogfooding or partially dog fooding so let me finish this post by saying it really is gold era of a linux #a11y and we are looking forward for what it brings us in the future.


We're often asked "When can I use Thunderbird in my browser?" It's a logical question! After all, Thunderbird was built on top of Firefox technologies, right?

Let's have a quick chat about it:

🕘 December 2009: Maybe you were upgrading your computer to the new Windows 7, or checking out Ubuntu 9.10. Perhaps you were pouring all your free time into Valve’s ridiculously fun survival shooter Left 4 Dead 2. And maybe, just maybe, you were eagerly anticipating installing Thunderbird 3.0…

We hear you: it IS frustrating that Thunderbird doesn't have a proper conversation view! It's finally time to answer WHY, and explain what we're doing to solve it.

It all started about 20 years ago...

Oh snap! Good news, Linux users: we're adding the Thunderbird Snap, previously maintained by the awesome Ubuntu desktop team, to our officially supported Linux packages! 📦 🐧

Learn all about why we made the change, what it means and what to expect, and where to report issues in our blog post.

Schleswig-Holstein geht voran:

#LibreOffice statt M$ Office
#Linux statt Windows
#Thunderbird statt Outlook
#Nextcloud statt Sharepoint

Das Kabinett hat den Startschuss für den Umstieg auf freie Software gegeben - ein Gewinn für #IT-Sicherheit, #Datenschutz und die heimische Digitalwirtschaft.

Langfristiges Ziel ist die vollständige digitale Souveränität des Landes.

Wir ziehen den Hut und wünschen eine erfolgreiche Umsetzung!🎩

I don't like the mentioned #Mozilla stuff (like accounts and Sync).

Will this kind of features limited to the #Thunderbird version of the code base?


This is so f***** up!! O_O

When Thunderbird for Android is ready for release, what will the upgrade path from K-9 Mail look like? Will both apps co-exist? Where does Mozilla Sync fit in?

I still adore this screenshot.

Also, some interesting @thunderbird trivia: In 2004, internet access wasn't nearly as widespread as it is now, so Mozilla offered to send installation CD-ROMs to users for $5.95.

I had the pleasure to talk at #installfest in #prague today. That was a great experience. I hope my talk about #Thunderbird convinced at least one person to contribute to #Foss. I even met Mitch Altman, who it turns out uses the email client for a long time.

It's a planes, trains, and automobiles kind of day for the Team #Thunderbird members heading to #SCaLE21x ! Come see us - aka Jason, Natalie, Heather, and Monica (the latter two sharing their airport pics!) - at Booth 215 . We'd love to chat with you, hear your Thunderbird stories, and share some sticker love. Ryan will be talking all about Thunderbird for Android Saturday at 14:30 in Ballroom C✈️ 🚆 🚗

Pasadena, we'll see you soon! Who else is on their way or will be shortly? 🤩


It's SCaLE21x week! We're dragging out our suitcases and making our packing lists - can't forget the stickers! We'll be at Booth 215 Friday through Sunday, and we hope you come visit us. It's our first year at SCaLE and we can hardly wait. 🐧 🌴

And in a completely, totally, honestly unrelated question, we've been thinking about the kinds of Easter Eggs you can't eat. What are YOUR favorite hidden surprises? Any media counts! 🐣 😉

Ich habe eine interessante Auflistung von Anleitungen von OpenSource Software gefunden. Sicherlich ist manches spezifisch für die Institution.

It's not a big leap to say how much work went into Thunderbird for Android/K-9 this February! 🗓️

In the latest update, we talk about the newest stable release and discuss what's next: the journey to Material 3 (and how beta testers can make it as smooth as possible) and Android 14 compatibility. ✨

And as always, you can find the latest community contributions and find out how to get involved! 💪

This is new to me, and would be useful.
But I find that when I select a tag, the message list is empty until I disable the Quick Filter. I can enable it again and still see the messages.
#Thunderbird


I love, love, LOVE my #Thunderbird tags! (especially with the filters I've set up to delete messages after a period of time, eg "Keep for 1 week/month/3 months" then delete unless starred etc).

Can't wait for tags+filters to make their way over to #ThunderbirdMobile / #K9 mail!


It's Thursday, and we've got a Thunderbird two in one tip! If you use tags to organize your emails, today's tips are all about activating and moving tags in the Folder Pane.

1. Click the Folder Pane Menu (three dots on right side of 'New Message') 📁
2. Hover over Folder Modes ➡️
3. Enable Tags ✅

Want to move the tags around? Click on the vertical three-dot Tags menu to shift them up or down.

It's #TuneTuesday and the theme is #IBoughtItFirst - the first single/album you got for yourself. @communiteatime is driving and picking the music, so don't say we didn't warn you. ⚠️

That first album was...Shepherd Moons by Enya. For a 90s teen into Irish and New Age music, what else would it have been? 😅

This was the fav song, and it made it onto an Ireland travel playlist for OSS-EU back in 2022. And now our earworm is yours! What was your first? 🐛

We’re happy to announce the release of K-9 Mail 6.800! The main goal of this version is to make it easier for you to add your email accounts to the app by integrating Thunderbird’s autoconfig feature.

With another item crossed off the list, this brings us one step closer towards Thunderbird for Android! Read the details and how to get it at our blog:

Meanwhile I am migrating my mails to selfhosted mail server, with great help of #thunderbird, since it is really efficient in moving thousands of mails from one place to another.


As promised, our monthly development digest is here! And there are some brief but BIG updates in this one 👀

✅ Thunderbird Sync Update
✅ Taking ownership of the Thunderbird Snap
✅ ThunderCell repo for tracking Rust + Exchange progress

When we heard there was a #TuneTuesday train we had to hop on board!

Today's theme is #SingIt and to share a song whose lyrics mean a lot to you. Not easy to narrow down, but we'll try!

Vienna Teng's "Level Up" is a great anthem about embracing humanity and helping each other in the face of what's often an overwhelming world.

So, what's your anthem, the song you feel down to your bones? We'd love to know and sing along!
