Thunderbird overview
As of July 2012, Thunderbird has transitioned to a new governance model, with new features being developed by the broader free software and open source community, and security fixes and improvements handled by Mozilla.
Thunderbird is a free, open-source, cross-platform e-mail and news (NNTP) client developed by the Mozilla Foundation. The project strategy is modeled after Mozilla Firefox, a project aimed at creating a Web browser.

What users say about Thunderbird
Features: 2.0
It does really feel like a web browser, which I feel a mail client isn't. I have to turn to terminal to get proper logging of connections. When exporting messages for archives there exist no solution that guarantees all messages and attachments make it even when all are on disk. What's that?
Reliability: 2.0
I don't feel I know what it's doing and I''ve been an email user for 30 years and ain't no newbie in setting up and analysing mail servers nor setting them up myself.

Version: 128.2.0
This "new" version was actually released a few weeks ago. Why is MacUpdate posting this now?
Nov 11 2023
Version: 115.3.2
Using a Mac, one on Catalina, the other on System 14 on an M1 chip. Can't get either one to work. Whan I enter my *correct* user ID and password to tell it to use iCloud, it comes back saying that my credentials aren't accepted. One commenter on another forum said to erase the account and restart TB. How does one erase an account? Another commented that one should delect ~/.thunderbird. There isn't one on either of my machines. I really want to replace Mail. Won't you please help?

Has the fixed compose window issue been fixed for V115.0? Any other comments to share?

Version: 102.3.0
Mozilla has tried to create a new problem for its users. The compose window for sending an email now has a fixed position on the screen. This window can no longer be moved around the screen. It is simply impossible to disable this feature. Now I am really thinking about finding an alternative to Mozilla Thunderbird, because this "innovation" is a very significant problem.
