Let's answer another question from you.

Q: Are you planning Thunderbird integration with Telegram? For in-app chat, or for using as attachment storage?

A: Not right now, because Telegram is closed source on the server side. We want to focus on decentralized, open standard solutions.

To use it as attachment storage, anyone could write a cloud file extension: https://webextension-api.thunderbird.net/en/latest/cloudFile.html

Here are some existing solutions using services like Dropbox and Nextcloud: https://addons.thunderbird.net/search/?q=filelink

You've been asking us a bunch of great questions, and we're going to start answering them. Let's kick it off with this one:

QUESTION: Any plans to improve Dark Mode? In some situations (e.g. forwarding a message), one gets dark letters on a black background.

ANSWER: Absolutely. We are continually working on improving Dark Mode and recognize that there are areas to make it better. Many of our developers are Dark Mode users too -- they want it be as perfect as you do!

One of the most important feature requests we've heard from you is "WHERE THE HECK IS MY #THUNDERBIRD MOBILE APP?"

Here's a straight answer:

YES, we're excited to announce that an Android version of Thunderbird is coming!

We'll have more details to share with you in a few weeks. We'll talk to you about it here, and over on our blog at https://blog.thunderbird.net.
