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!
»We’re going to build #Thunderbird for iOS with #JMAP support first and foremost.«¹
As someone who is developing a JMAP-only client for Android: That’s a bold move but good luck 🙂
Maybe you should make Ltt.rs your Thunderbird for Android.

Thunderbird for Mobile April 2025 Progress Report - The Thunderbird Blog
Last month, our growing team was working on Thunderbird for iOS (Testflight preparations and workflow decisions) and Android (lots of fixes).Philipp Kewisch (The Thunderbird Blog)
today one of the duties is done: donated to #thunderbird and #libreoffice :)
do as well, if you can afford it, and think it's a useful thing.
do as well, if you can afford it, and think it's a useful thing.
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. 🔧

It's been a while, but our Thursday Thunderbird Tips are back! And our first post is all about Thunderbird keyboard shortcuts. If you're already using them, awesome! If not, we’ve got a guide to get you started! 🤔 ⌨️

Lately I've been wondering how I could contribute to open source projects despite not being a programmer and not having money for donations, and then I found out about #localisation. For the past couple of days I've been doing some translations for #mozilla projects, mainly #thunderbird, and having my strings aproved has been really satisfying. I love how intuitive Mozilla's localisation interface is.
Ich habe jetzt mal die #App von #Thunderbird für #Android getestet.
Übernahme aller #Konten und #Mailadressen aus dem Thunderbird am #Linux Rechner per (in meinem Fall 4) #QRCode klappt super.
Dann allerdings fangen bei etlichen #Mailkonten, denen jeweils mehrere #Mailadressen zugeordnet sind, die Probleme an:
Vom Kontoname werden in einem farbigen Punkt nur die ersten 2 Buchstaben angezeigt. Zwar kann man die Farbe wählen, aber das reicht zur Unterscheidung nicht aus.
#Signaturen werden nicht übernommen, zumindest, wenn diese im Thunderbird am PC aus einer Textdatei eingebunden sind.
Wenn man unterhalb des #Posteingang (#Inbox) Unterordner hat, werden diese nicht wie beim Thunderbird am PC als Unterordner des Posteingang samt Hierarchie angezeigt, sondern jeder Unterordner in flacher Hierarchie in der Form "INBOX.Ordnername" aufgeführt.
Man kann immer nur einer einem Postfach zugeordneten Mailadresse einen #PGP Schlüssel zuweisen.
Der Ansatz für eine #Thunderbirdapp ist vielversprechend, aber noch ist gewaltig Luft nach oben.
Ich bleibe deshalb bis auf weiteres erst mal bei #FairEmail", das ich wärmsten empfehlen kann.

Just supported #Thunderbird with a donation. If you can afford it, please consider supporting #FOSS, too. A small and simple step to independence from Trump and his tech flunkies.
@thunderbird@mastodon.online @thunderbird@tilvids.com Question about the #CardsView for email pls. For many years i have exclusively used the table / multi-column view, as i can see much more info [eg, folder, tags, sent date, received date, sender, receiver etc]. Recently i changed to the Card View, & am trying to like it, but i really miss now not seeing at a glance the folder. Is CV editable somewhere so i can fine tune what parameters i see?
@OctaviaConAmore It's not too clear whether donations to the new MZLA entity are earmarked exclusively for #Thunderbird development, or can be harvested by the parent organization to fund other projects.
I'd want to know because recently I've been donating to Thunderbird and I wouldn't like my donations to be redirected to #Firefox, given its current leadership and direction.
@thunderbird is this known issue with the rebranded #K9?
I composed a message while out and about, but the message didn't send because my mobile provider has ended up on #Spamhaus #XBL. The message sits in the #Thunderbird Outbox.
On getting home to my WiFi network (whose internet connectivity is provided by an entity which is not my mobile provider) and attempting to resend the message in the Outbox, the message still fails to send, with the same error. However any email composed and sent while on my home network is sent reliably.
What's going on there?

Woke this morning with an email from #Scotia bank about my account. I don't have a Scotia account.
Usually, I ignore these as phishing, but I have a #Thunderbird add-on that tells me when SPF and DKIM pass. And the "from" domain was truly scotia bank. So, yes, it did come from them.
Spent 30 minutes on the phone bouncing around, queuing and waiting while they checked. Their conclusion is that their customer carelessly entered my email address instead of their own, and they will contact the customer.
Two things.
Email addresses should always be validated with an OTP. When will banks learn this?
Second: Some people are a pain in the ass.
