If you’ve been wondering how the work to turn K-9 Mail into Thunderbird for Android is coming along, you’ve found the right place. This blog post contains a report of our development activities in March 2024.
Automated testing increases the software quality by minimizing the number of bugs accidentally introduced by changes to the code. And we want to find those bugs before our users do!
Last year we took ownership of the Thunderbird Flatpak, and it has been our officially recommended package for Linux users. However, we are expanding our horizons to make sure the Thunderbird Snap experience is officially supported too. We at Thunderbird are team “free software”, independent of the packaging technology.
In this month’s Thunderbird Development Digest, Alex updates us on Rust and Exchange, list management, and successful ESMification.
The March 2024 Thunderbird Community Office Hours invites questions from the community in an open forum format.
Hello Thunderbird Community! There are a lot of exciting developments happening right now surrounding Thunderbird Sync, Exchange support, and our new Snap package for Linux users. Let’s dive in!

Our guest for this month’s Thunderbird Community Office Hours is John Bieling, who is the person responsible for Thunderbird’s add-on component.
Hello Thunderbird Community! I’m very happy to kick off a new monthly recap in order to bring a deeper look and understanding of what we’re working on, and the status of these efforts.
These monthly digests will be in a very short format, focusing primarily on the work that is currently being planned or initiated that is not yet fully captured in BugZilla. Nonetheless, we’re putting it out there to cherish and fully embrace the open nature of Thunderbird.
We’ve been working on some significant (and what we think are pretty fantastic) UI changes to Thunderbird. Besides the new Cards View, we have some exciting overhauls to the Message Context Menu (aka the right-click menu) planned. UX Engineer Elizabeth Mitchell will discuss these changes, and most importantly, why we’re making them

Having recently joined us as a full-time Android developer, Wolf brings his passion for building mobile applications to the Thunderbird team.
