#SCaLE21x, it's almost time to say goodbye, but it's been a blast. Thank you everyone who came by our booth to share your stories, heard @linuxflower talk about Thunderbird for Android, and made our first time here a great one. 🐧 💙

#Thunderbird #OpenSource #Community

It's a planes, trains, and automobiles kind of day for the Team #Thunderbird members heading to #SCaLE21x ! Come see us - aka Jason, Natalie, Heather, and Monica (the latter two sharing their airport pics!) - at Booth 215 . We'd love to chat with you, hear your Thunderbird stories, and share some sticker love. Ryan will be talking all about Thunderbird for Android Saturday at 14:30 in Ballroom C✈️ 🚆 🚗

Pasadena, we'll see you soon! Who else is on their way or will be shortly? 🤩

It's not a big leap to say how much work went into Thunderbird for Android/K-9 this February! 🗓️

In the latest update, we talk about the newest stable release and discuss what's next: the journey to Material 3 (and how beta testers can make it as smooth as possible) and Android 14 compatibility. ✨

And as always, you can find the latest community contributions and find out how to get involved! 💪

We’re happy to announce the release of K-9 Mail 6.800! The main goal of this version is to make it easier for you to add your email accounts to the app by integrating Thunderbird’s autoconfig feature.

With another item crossed off the list, this brings us one step closer towards Thunderbird for Android! Read the details and how to get it at our blog:

Walled gardens might be OK for plants, but not for email. Did you know our average donation in 2023 so far is $17.44? For the price of a bouquet, you can donate to help liberate email from corporate walled gardens, and help privacy bloom. 🌻 Rest assured, ANY donation amount makes a difference! https://mzla.link/eoy23_masto

@ndonegan We've got you.

@kasiandra Thank you for notifying us of this. We've unboosted the toot and will look at avatars much more carefully to be sure they're not against our participation guidelines.

For those of us receiving email in multiple languages, it would be awesome to have #Firefox Translate built in to Thunderbird. No sending your sensitive conversations to a corporate cloud, just a lean translation service running locally.

We've decided to make it a development priority for Q1 2024!

You'll be able to track the progress via this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1823007

But as always, we'll also keep you posted right here.

@execat Wow, thanks for sharing that page, it's a handy resource!

@gershman Hi, we only do this once, and we respectfully disagree that it's bad form.

This one action led us to a historic amount of donations from our users in 2022 -- which in turn enabled us to pursue Thunderbird for Android AND iOS, develop new products, and hire new engineers and developers to make Thunderbird even better.

Our open source project is very healthy because of this, and our users have spoken with their wallets. We're incredibly grateful for that.

Hi Thunderbird family, we have just a bit of housekeeping and cleanup to do before we release version 115, so we're going to hold off until tomorrow (Tuesday) to press the launch button.

Thank you so much for your patience. We know it's been a long wait. We just want to ensure the smoothest launch possible!

Thunderbird 115 "Supernova" launches on Monday, July 10th! It's our first step towards a more modern, more beautiful, and more customizable Thunderbird experience.

We think you're going to love it, and we are endlessly grateful for all of your support throughout the years 💙

Thunderbird for Android gets one step closer, as K-9 Mail integrates Thunderbird's Autoconfiguration feature for new accounts.

Read info on that, all the other important developments, and some awesome community contributions in the new progress report:

While K-9 Mail is developed in the open, following its development on GitHub can be somewhat tedious for a casual observer. So we’re trying something new and summarizing the most notable things that happened in the past month as we head down the exiting road to Thunderbird for Android!

Thunderbird 115 "Supernova" will be intuitive and welcoming to new users, while remaining familiar and comfortable for our veteran users.

See how we're accomplishing that balance with this preview of the new Folder Pane: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2023/02/thunderbird-115-supernova-preview-the-new-folder-pane/
