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.

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

I recently switched to Thunderbird on my phone and desktop computer. Both are working great. I wanted a simple email app without a lot of features that I don't use. Thunderbird is simple and gives me easy access to my email. I also tried a couple other email apps, but they had problems connecting to my IMAP account. Thunderbird connected instantly. I'll be sending a donation to support the project.

Overall, a solid email client. been using it (and K-9 Mail) for years. One thing that keeps this app from 5 stars is the new unified inbox. it would be nice to also show pinned or favorite folders/labels from all accounts in the side panel. as it stands, you have to go back to the account with said folders to check them and then back to the unified inbox. I know you can include folders/labels in the unified inbox, but I don't necessarily want that.

I was very excited to see that Thunderbird is finally available for Android! For me, it's almost flawless and works almost as good as the desktop version. One major feature that is missing, that I have with Bluemail is...image resize for attachments. It's almost archaic that this isn't available in TB... since every other mobile email app has it, otherwise I'd give 5 stars. I'd love to use this as my daily driver, but I just can't without the resize, as I depend on that feature.
