It had to be open source, respect the user, and be a perfect fit for power users who crave customization and a rich feature set. Throughout the following few years, the conversation evolved into how to create an awesome, seamless email experience across platforms.īut Ryan and cketti both agreed that the final product had to reflect the shared values of both projects. The two instantly wanted to find a way for the two projects to collaborate. That’s when Thunderbird Product Manager Ryan Lee Sipes first met up with Christian Ketterer (aka “cketti”), the project maintainer for open-source Android email client K-9 Mail. It is almost certain that it will include a core set of features right from the get-go this may include syncing between mobile and desktop clients, support for multiple email accounts, and an address book.For years, we’ve wanted to extend Thunderbird beyond the desktop, and the path to delivering a great Thunderbird on Android™ experience started in 2018. It is unclear if the initial version of the app will be released in 2022 and what functionality it will include. While that does not exclude the creation of an application for Apple's iOS ecosystem, it seems likely that the Android app is the first to become available for users.Īdditional information is not available at this point. In another tweet, Sipes refers to the release of an APK file specifically. The product manager did not provide specifics, only that the mobile app is the second priority after fixing the user interface and user experience in Thunderbird. Thunderbird product and business development manager Ryan Lee Sipes confirmed on Twitter that a Thunderbird mobile app is coming soon. The release of Thunderbird for mobile devices would change that for Thunderbird users who install it on their tablets and mobiles.
