Every month our mobile developers (cketti and Wolf) write a detailed progress report showing what's been completed on our journey from K-9 Mail to Thunderbird for Android.

In January most of our work went into polishing the user interface and user experience of the new and improved account setup. However, there was still one feature missing that we really wanted to get in there...

Messages like that drive me to keep sharing my knowledge with people in the #Thunderbird support system.


If Thunderbird was a cake, then its Add-ons would be the amazingly delicious frosting on top! Join the Thunderbird Team on February 22 at 18:00 UTC as we chat with Sr. Software Engineer John Bieling about Add-on development and how you can help out!

Before we get too far into 2024, we wanted to think about everything that went well - and the things that didn't go so great - for Thunderbird in 2023. Don't get us wrong, while we think some amazing things happened last year, we also want to admit what we could have done differently. 🙂 😐 😕

As always, we'd love to know your thoughts on where - and how - we can improve! 💙

Thunderbird is an email client with built-in support for PGP encryption.

Messages are encrypted/decrypted in the client and remain encrypted on email servers, this is client-side encryption.

Some email providers support PGP encryption server-side, this method could be vulnerable to third-party decryption of emails.

Client side encryption: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client-s…

This image was the result of an experiment playing with an AI image generator. I had asked for a blue bird in the shape of a padlock, as a potential way to symbolize email encryption in our software. I brought some stickers with it to #Fosdem and many visitors of our #Thunderbird booth took one, because we were already out of other stickers. I'd like to clarify, it is NOT an official image of our project, it was created just for fun.




Don't forget to visit Team Thunderbird at our stand in Building K, Level 1, B8! We've got great people to talk to and those sweet stickers we previewed!

Good afternoon, Brussels! Thank you to everyone who came out and tuned in to @ryanleesipes talk this morning. We've got some great pics from Team Thunderbird, and we've loved seeing your pics! Keep them coming this weekend!

I like the #Haiku icon set, but their #Thunderbird icon looks like a pigeon about to take a crap on a piece of paper. 😜

I think Thunderbird deserves more respect! 😉 🙂



If you'll be at FOSDEM this weekend, can you help us with this sticky situation? You can find us in Building K, Level 1, Group B where Team Thunderbird will be happy to share their knowledge, excitement, and of course, stickers!

Having been through this process at work recently, it seems that a possible cause of problems could be #Thunderbird not being set up to allow cookies (which privacy conscious users naturally tend not to permit). It seems that some #OAuth2 login pages may need cookies to be allowed in order to work, so it is probably worth adding this to the support page as a suggestion to check this setting.




If you use Thunderbird as a client for Microsoft-owned accounts and have sign-in issues, especially recently, be sure to check our newly updated KB article on the topic. support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/m…

We'll be keeping a close eye on these issues, and thanks to everyone who has both let us know about their problems and jumped in to help others. 😊 💙

[бг] След поне 10 години усилия на много хора, #Thunderbird вече е 100% преведен и локализиран на български.

Тъй като в превеждан от доста хора, елементите имат нужда от изглаждане.

Включете се в тази акция за да ни помогнете да го направим разбираем за употреба. Към момента българската версия се използва от повече от 20 000 устройства.

Better to take some more time to prepare a proper release – looking forward to it and kudos for keeping Thunderbird on @fdroidorg.

Still, any news about future encryption options, especially via #OpenPGP? Pretty much all #Android email clients rely on #Openkeychain to manage all your keys. Sadly it is still unmaintained and desperately needs a replacement or someone to take over development. Look at issues like this: github.com/open-keychain/open-…
#Thunderbird for Android will also rely on this unmaintained app.
