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:

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, now an official Thunderbird Add-on: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/ublock-origin/

Last month we reported on our progress in turning K-9 Mail into Thunderbird for Android. And we promised to do that every month.

So let's get you updated on the latest developments!

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

While K-9 Mail is developed in the open, following its development on GitHub can be somewhat tedious for a casual observer. So we’re trying something new and summarizing the most notable things that happened in the past month as we head down the exciting road to Thunderbird for Android!

We buried this tease at the bottom of the newest blog post 😉

What do you think it will be?

(Reassuring footnote: we're not putting any Thunderbird features behind a paywall)

A few seconds of time here and there can really add up! When you need to send an email NOW, you don't want to backtrack through menus...

So we've added a floating Compose button to K-9 Mail version 6.500 -- available now to test in Beta, on both F-Droid and Google Play.

(Learn how to access the Beta here https://forum.k9mail.app/t/how-do-i-become-a-beta-tester/68)

Here's a screenshot of #K9Mail's current message view. And two more showing what the NEW message design will look like! 👀

We've added some comments in the margins explaining some of the new features and UI elements.

Thunderbird for Android is taking shape, and it should be here before Thunderbird Supernova releases next summer!

(Note: This is by no means final, still a lot of polish and work to do)

#OpenSource #FOSS #Email #Android #Thunderbird

Since you seem to be getting excited about the redesigned calendar in #Thunderbird Supernova, it's an appropriate time to mention that the ENTIRE application is getting a modern UI overhaul in 2023!

You can track our progress here: https://developer.thunderbird.net/planning/roadmap

(That link also leads to our Thunderbird Android roadmap).

#FOSS

In 2023, #Thunderbird will reinvent itself with the “Supernova” release, featuring a modernized interface and brand new features.

One of the major improvements you can look forward to is an overhaul to our #calendar UI. Today we’re excited to give you a preview of what it looks like!

What is the first setting you change OR the first extension you add right after installing Thunderbird?

Most of you are going to appreciate this tattoo!

Thunderbird 102.4.0 release notes: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/102.4.0/releasenotes/

We're making great progress on our journey to Thunderbird "Supernova" (115) next year! One of the components of our redesign has been finished (thanks to the awesome @micahilbery).

On the left is the App Menu from Thunderbird 102. On the right is the streamlined App Menu that will be in Thunderbird "Supernova."

You'll notice less to scroll through up front, more icons, and smarter organization of menu items.

Want to test it for yourself? It's available now in Thunderbird Daily!
