What you can do
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.

Thunderbird is a 100% open source, privacy focused email app.

Overall it's a great experience. The unified inbox works well, but I have to ask... Why is there no unified outbox because it takes quite a few Presses to get from my unified inbox to the specific outbox that I'm looking for When I'm trying to pull up an email that I have previously sent. For that matter, why not incorporate a unified trash and spam as well.

Thanks so much for helping test the Beta app, which improves everyone's experience! And we do have plans to add more folders to the Unified Account, but this work depends on the current re-architecture work that will make this feature much easier to add.

In my testing of this beta, long-term, it has been quite responsive, efficient on battery, excellent at catching 99.9% of spam, if you do not NOT prefer the unified inbox, it can be split into separate accounts. A few suggestions for the developers, being able to forward with attachment without opening, in the case of spam emails, the addition of tags for emails.

Thanks for your great review, and your ideas for improving Thunderbird! While we don't know if or when those things will be coming to the app, you can also show support for them by suggesting or voting for existing ideas at connect.mozilla.org, our official feedback site. Thanks!

For those who don't know, check out Thunderbird's mission/Mozilla's mission and read up a little bit. Open standards and protocols, accessible and open web, completely open source, transparent, you can vote on features and view public roadmaps of what devs are working on and implementing And the holy grail: they don't mine or sell any data App is clean and modern and supports any email address you need it to, no bugs or crashes, no ads, no promotions, no AI - perfect
