At long last, the Thunderbird blog now has a "Share To Mastodon" button!

A hearty round of applause and eternal thanks to @micah, @oopsallnaps, and @devmount for making it happen 💙

By default, #Thunderbird automatically blocks images in your emails from being displayed -- because many of those images may contain tracking code.

(Sometimes these images are tiny "tracking pixels" you may not even see).

Take your protection one step further by installing #uBlock Origin to block all kinds of unwanted content in your RSS feeds -- it's now an official Thunderbird Add-on: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/ublock-origin/

Like the legend of the phoenix, we're resurrecting Mozilla Send, an end-to-end encrypted file share service, and bringing it under our wings as Thunderbird Send. In this clip from S1E5 of the ThunderCast, developer Chris Aquino gives us a sneak peek of the new - wait, old - er, reborn project!

Learn how #Thunderbird Send will help you overcome your file upload woes, respect your privacy, safeguard against abuse, and hopefully change your #email experience for the better.

#Gmail is starting to show even more ads -- and they're appearing in the middle of email lists.

There's a real benefit to using email software that doesn't rely on YOUR data to generate revenue or train AI.

🎉 Happy 20th birthday, Thunderbird! 🎂

Time flies, doesn't it?
20 years ago today, a new cross-platform, open-source application called Thunderbird debuted from the foundations of Mozilla Mail.

Some of you have been with us this entire time, and we are so honored to have you on this journey with us.

Yesterday we published our 2022 Financial Report. When people saw Thunderbird raised $6.4M in 2022 from donations, one question was asked frequently: "Do you have mega-donors?"

Nope. We just have awesome people 💙

Some stats we didn't publish in the report:

-We had 76 donations that were $500 or above, which is less than 1% of total donations.

-95% of our donations were less than $100.

-The largest donation was €3000.

-Our average donation amount $15.78.

Thank you #Thunderbird family!

For those of us receiving email in multiple languages, it would be awesome to have #Firefox Translate built in to Thunderbird. No sending your sensitive conversations to a corporate cloud, just a lean translation service running locally.

We've decided to make it a development priority for Q1 2024!

You'll be able to track the progress via this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1823007

But as always, we'll also keep you posted right here.

We never did a proper #introduction, did we? 😲

Hi Fediverse, we're Thunderbird, an #opensource #email client available for free on Linux, macOS and Windows. (And coming next year to Android. FINALLY, right?)

You can use Thunderbird for managing an unlimited number of mail accounts, calendars, newsgroup accounts, and RSS feeds. You can also chat using your @matrix account.

💙 LIKES: Open standards, privacy, freedom, customization.

🚫 DISLIKES: Proprietary code.

Nice to meet you 📩

One of our goals this year across the Thunderbird project is to be more transparent and communicate more often with our community. Consider this a first step!

We're starting a monthly development digest for the desktop version of Thunderbird as a companion to our Thunderbird for Android progress reports.

These are short, high-level posts and will include things we're working on or planning -- like Rust and Exchange support.

OK, let's go!

Just like our software, the current (and yes, beloved) Thunderbird logo has seen small, iterative improvements throughout the last 20 years. But now the software is evolving into something more modern, and we believe it deserves a fresh logo that properly represents this revitalization.

Introducing the brand new Thunderbird logo, designed by the creator of the original #Firefox and #Thunderbird logos, @jonhicks 🎉

It seems like every service that offers social media management (for example Hootsuite, GoCharlie, Buffer) is pushing community managers and marketing folks to use #AI to generate posts, and even entire campaigns.

Just wanted to emphasize that every word you see here is written by a human, and it always will be.

While we believe there are opportunities for AI that might benefit humanity, the time-honored tradition of talking to our fellow humans is NOT one of those opportunities!

In light of recent ransomware masquerading as Thunderbird, now is an excellent time to review the list of trusted places you can download and install Thunderbird from. @linuxflower walks you through the list for each operating system: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2023/10/ransomware-alert-are-you-using-a-trusted-version-of-thunderbird/

We're not done with Thunderbird Supernova!

As promised, we will continue to improve the UI and functionality of message threads and Cards view.

We outline the upcoming changes in our Thunderbird UX mailing list here: https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/ux/Tdb49a4666565e68e-M4aba7d876e0ced9c8d66ca58

A mockup with developer comments is also available from the link.

💡 If you have valuable feedback to offer about this, please reply to the mailing list so our developers & community see it!
