This is great, could always use better Android email clients and Thunderbird is quite good on the desktop at least.

K9 mail is all i have ever wanted in a mobile email client. Supports e2ee plugins too.

Mozilla has bigger issue imo. They should focus on maintaining, fixing and improving their existing core products instead of trying to cover everything.

Mozilla bought K9 mail. If you’re using K9, you’ve been “beta testing” Thunderbird for quite somd time now.

Interesting, then it is even more weird to create a new product.

It’s just a re-brand, really. Blue bird instead of red robo-dog.

Thunderbird is not developed by Mozilla Corporation, but an independent subsidiary named “MZLA”.

The only focus of this company is Thunderbird.

The title says “Mozilla” so either the title is wrong or this app is not developed by MZLA.

MZLA makes Thunderbird. Mozilla Corp makes Firefox. Mozilla Foundation owns both.

The title is wrong. Thunderbird is not developed by Mozilla.

Although Mozilla still provides CI, CDN, trasnlation tools, and other infrastructure.

@[email protected] I think Thunderbird is fairly core to Mozilla so this one doesn't seem an example of that problem even though I do agree they have often seemed fairly unfocused.

K9 is a near perfect email client.

All Mozilla did was take an existing privacy respecting app (with zero user tracking) and add their spyware telemetry code to it: 544mozilla.telemetry.glean.

Now they are gas lighting users by advertising this new version as “privacy-focused”.

Mozilla is like a virus at this point.
