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.

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.

Ratings and reviews

Desktop version is great and I have used it since inception. The Android app is just a warmed over k9 mail, and still has all of k9's deficiencies. Two glaring ones are no support for filtering messages (for example to automatically sort incoming mail) and the other, related one, is no autoresponder support. The desktop version has excellent filteration and the filters can be used to set up autoresponses based on details of the message. A curious failure.

It's email. It allows me to avoid ads, but it does not allow you to block emails, and marking them as spam is useless. I thought these were selling points of the app. Pretty disappointing. Support requires you to download an entirely different app, which I refuse to do. I have zero desire to fill my phone with bloatware. I've had the same experience with it using Ubuntu on my laptop. I don't really like it, but there's nothing better out there. I have more to add, but Google said no.

I just want an email client that works :( is that too much to ask? I switched to Thunderbird because Gmail would fail to send messages lock up and crash way too often. But it turns out Thunderbird has its own set of problems, the search function straight up doesn't work and sometimes it will fail to send messages and will not give me any feedback and why the message failed to send.
