VIDEO: Thunderbird Pro and Thundermail!

It’s been just over two months (!) since we first announced our upcoming Thunderbird Pro suite and Thundermail email service. We thought it would be a great idea to bring in Chris Aquino, a Software Engineer on our Services team, to chat about these upcoming products. We want our community to get to know the newest members of the Thunderbird family even before they hatch!

We’ll be back later this summer after our upcoming Extended Support Release, Thunderbird 140.0, is out! Members of our desktop team will be here to talk about the newest features. Of course, if you’d like to try the newest features a little sooner, we encourage you to try the monthly Release channel. Just be sure to check if your Add-ons are compatible first!

May Office Hours: Thunderbird Pro and Thundermail

Chris has been a part of the Thunderbird Pro products since we first started developing them. So not only is he a great colleague, he’s an ideal guest to help tell the story about this upcoming chapter in the Thunderbird story. Chris starts with an overview for each product that covers the features we have planned for each of our Thunderbird Pro products and Thundermail. We know how curious our community is about these products, and so our hosts have lots of questions for each product, and Chris is more than up to the challenge in answering them. We also make sure to point out how to get involved with trying, testing, and helping us improve these products by linking you to our repositories.

Watch, Read, and Get Involved

The entire interview with Chris is below, on YouTube and Peertube. There’s a lot of references in the interview, which we’ve handily provided below. We hope you’re enjoying these looks into what we’re doing at Thunderbird as much as we’re enjoying making them, and we’ll see you soon!

We also know some of you might only be interested in a single product, and so we’ve also made separate videos for each product!

TLDR/watch. Can you provide a 1-line description of each facility and whether it’s an add-on to the current Thunderbird? As I understand it 1. Appointment is a more clever Calendar; is it an add-on to TB and/or in the webmail version. 2. Thundermail is webmail, 3. Send is an add-on to TB (and webmail?) to transmit attachments with/without encryption – does it need TB for the recipient? 4. Assist is an optional AI helper. Is this correct?

That’s a great suggestion! I’ll go ahead and make those edits to the blog – and yes, your summaries are correct. Sorry for any confusion and again, thanks for the feedback!
