After a slump, Thunderbird has gained momentum in recent years. Although there is still work to make up for lost time, especially at the interface level, Thunderbird is one of the viable (and popular) email clients on desktop operating systems. Of many improvements are planned this year (new address book, link previews, import/export options, protocol support Matrixetc.), including an unexpected one… a mobile version!
the official account of the software and the product manager Ryan Lee Sipes mentioned the mobile app very succinctly on Twitter, just to say it was coming ” soon “. In another tweet, Ryan Lee Sipes refers to to Android. Nothing else is known about this future mobile Thunderbird.
If ported to iOS, Thunderbird will have to abandon Gecko as a rendering engine in favor of WebKit, as Firefox had to do to respect Apple’s hard rules. The mail client is driven under Mozilla’s wing by a team of ten people and open to external contributions.
