About this app

Thunderbird is a powerful, privacy-focused email app. Effortlessly manage multiple email accounts from one app, with a Unified Inbox option for maximum productivity. Built on open-source technology and supported by a dedicated team of developers alongside a global community of volunteers, Thunderbird never treats your private data as a product. Supported solely by financial contributions from our users, so you never have to see ads mixed in with your emails again.

What you can do



  • Ditch multiple apps and webmail. Use one app, with an optional Unified Inbox, to power through your day.

  • Enjoy a privacy-friendly email client that never collects or sells your personal data. We directly connect you to your email provider. That’s it!

  • Take your privacy to the next level by using OpenPGP email encryption (PGP/MIME) with the “OpenKeychain” app, to encrypt and decrypt your messages.

  • Choose to sync your email instantly, at set intervals, or on-demand. However you want to check your email, it’s up to you!

  • Find your important messages using both local and server-side search.



Compatibility



  • Thunderbird works with IMAP and POP3 protocols, supporting a wide range of email providers, including Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo Mail, iCloud, and more.



Why use Thunderbird



  • The trusted name in email for over 20 years - now on Android.

  • Thunderbird is fully funded by voluntary contributions from our users. We don’t mine your personal data. You are never the product.

  • Made by a team that is as efficiency-minded as you are. We want you to spend minimal time using the app while getting maximum in return.

  • With contributors from all over the world, Thunderbird for Android has been translated into more than 20 languages.

  • Supported by MZLA Technologies Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation.



Open Source and Community



  • Thunderbird is free and open source, which means its code is available to see, modify, use and share freely. Its license also ensures that it will be free forever. You can think of Thunderbird as a gift from thousands of contributors to you.

  • We develop in the open with regular, transparent updates on our blog and mailing lists.

  • Our user support is powered by our global community. Find the answers you need, or step into the role of a contributor - whether it’s answering questions, translating the app, or telling your friends and family about Thunderbird.

I would like to enjoy using your services, but I find that the accumulation of information becomes overwhelming after a period of time. The combined inbox is, unfortunately, not ideal. Distinguishing between multiple emails is also quite confusing. Perhaps displaying our avatars would be a helpful alternative.The items on the left side of the interface appear to be quite cluttered. It might be beneficial if our folders did not have duplicate names.

Thanks for your feedback, and we're definitely working to make the app less overwhelming! You can turn off the combined inbox in General Settings > Display > Account List. We are also having an improved account drawer with optional avatars and folder improvements coming in 12.0!

The format of the account list should be changed to show account name, not just a meaningless symbol. Need to be able to open an attachment from the top of the email or a menu. Some emails have large amounts of space, and it takes a long time to repeatedly swipe down to get to the bottom where the attachment is shown. No way to quickly scroll down. Need to be able to add custom folders and be able to move emails between folders. Will not download PDF file to a folder; instead, it opens the app.

We're so sorry with any frustration with the current app. We're working on an improved account drawer with the option to show the full email address and a customizable icon, as well as improved attachments, and these features will land this year. For less white space, adjust Settings > General Settings > Display > Message Lists. Hope this helps!

i thought i liked this email client at first, but not so much now. I've been intermittently getting error messages saying that the message failed to send when I'm trying to email attachments. they sit in the outbox, and then i open it, and it says message deleted, or sometimes it just removes the attachment after sending. since this is for work, i can't afford the time to troubleshoot why this keeps happening, so I'm moving on.

Thanks for your feedback, and we're sorry for the frustrations with messages being stuck in the outbox (a possible solution is in 11.0) and with attachments disappearing. While we'd love to help troubleshoot at Settings > Get Help, we hope you try us again as we improve!
