But Thunderbird needs to make its mobile debut to fast-track this plan of action. It is also highly customizable, backed by an enthusiastic community and has a solid 19-year track record for user privacy – features quite desirable in 2022, which is why Thunderbird has grabbed Mozilla’s attention.Ī new business plan, some recent updates and a considerable influx of cash hold the potential to make Thunderbird’s desktop client respectable again.

The Thunderbird app is incredibly lightweight compared to modern, Electron-based email clients. This is a part of the Thunderbird revival. K-9 Mail is joining Thunderbird to become the Thunderbird Android email app. Open-source email application, Thunderbird, is coming to Android with the help of the K-9 Mail Android email app project.

The Thunderbird team is also planning to offer Firefox Sync as an option to sync accounts between K-9 Mail and Thunderbird.

Millions of Thunderbird desktop users can soon expect to see an official Thunderbird app for Android.
