While K-9 Mail / Thunderbird for Android 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.
Last week we showed you the new Swipe actions in K-9 Mail 6.400. Today, it’s something even more exciting: a completely redesigned message view!
The path to bringing you a great email experience on Android devices begins with K-9 Mail, which joined the Thunderbird product family earlier this year. As we work towards a modern redesign of desktop Thunderbird, we’re also working towards improving K-9 Mail as it begins its transition to Thunderbird mobile!
Open-source Android email app K-9 Mail has joined forces with the Thunderbird project, signaling the beginning of a long-term vision to deliver an outstanding Thunderbird mobile experience.
Thunderbird will support Microsoft Exchange Web Services (EWS) natively, all written in exciting Rust! Read more to find out about our Rusty adventures, the technical nature of the EWS implementation, and what is on the horizon!
We know the Thunderbird community has LOTS of questions! We get them on Mozilla Support, Mastodon, and the site formerly known as Twitter. They pop up everywhere, from the Thunderbird subreddit to the teeming halls of conferences like FOSDEM and SCaLE. During our March Community Office Hours, we took the most frequently asked questions to Team Thunderbird and got you some answers.
The Thunderbird Project enjoyed a fantastic 2023. From my point of view – as someone who regularly engages with both the community and our team on a daily basis – the past year brought a renewed sense of purpose, sustainability, and excitement to Thunderbird. Let’s talk about a few of the awesome milestones Thunderbird achieved, but let’s also discuss where we stumbled and what lessons we learned along the way.
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.
WHY was Thunderbird 115 called “Supernova?” What caused the press to declare Thunderbird dead back in 2012? And how did we turn the ship around? Ryan answers these questions and much more in his personal recollection of Thunderbird’s history.
The road to Thunderbird 115 “Supernova” has been a long one, and we’re confident you’ll love the final result. If you’re already using Thunderbird 115, you may have noticed a feature that is conspicuously absent: Thunderbird Sync.
Our journey to transform K-9 Mail to Thunderbird for Android involves more than just improving the user interface and adding new features. K-9 Mail is already an important part of the open source ecosystem on Android, and because it lays the foundation for the future of Thunderbird on Android, we believe it’s important to invest in the security health of the software.
We asked Jon Hicks, the creator of the original Firefox and Thunderbird logos, to re-imagine his iconic design in light of Thunderbird’s exciting future.
Last year, our mighty donor base contributed a record-breaking amount in donations to the Thunderbird project. This was a bright, assertive sign that you want to see Thunderbird thriving. Not just in 2023, but decades into the future!
Mozilla Connect is an easy-to-use community tool that can help shape future Thunderbird (and Firefox) releases. It allows you to post a feature request, contribute your opinions to existing ones, and give kudos to the features you believe in.
