It's time to explain Thunderbird's relationship to Mozilla again.

Thunderbird is in its own legal entity - MZLA Technologies and is governed in part by a Community Council elected by and from our open source contributors.

Thunderbird is currently 100% donation-funded. We do not receive any money outside what our donors give us.

This is good for Thunderbird and makes us unique. Our whole structure only works to serve the interests of our users and contributor community.

Hey all, I'm giving a talk on Thunderbird on Android at SCALE - if you're going to be there come join me to learn what we've been up to with our Android client!

I often get asked something like:

"Why work on email clients? Isn't Gmail what most people use?"

The answer: a ton of people use Gmail and O365/Outlook. So many that it is endangering the email standard. But Email is the most decentralized communication technology out there - and great clients help protect that. So that folks can have a great email experience, regardless of the server/provider they use.

Protect email. Use Thunderbird.

I'm so excited to share all the cool stuff we are working on over in Thunderbird world. I think a lot of folks will be authentically blown away by what we are playing around with.

Some teasers:

- Rust 🦀
- We heard you want to send End-to-end encrypted files...
- I'd like to take some notes...

So... Thunderbird would like to support Activity Pub.

Anyone in the Fediverse wanna work on that?
