Both apps support multiple accounts just fine, and they also get new features at a regular pace. It’s certainly going to be difficult for Thunderbird to compete with established mobile email clients such as Outlook and Gmail. Not so long ago, the Mozilla Foundation also tried to uncouple Thunderbird from Firefox and switch to a community-driven model for email, only to bring back Thunderbird development in-house a couple of years later. Thunderbird has been around for almost two decades, but just like Mozilla’s Firefox browser, it definitely lost some momentum in recent years. Sipes tweeted that the Thunderbird mobile app is “coming soon,” though that it “may take a while to get all the syncing stuff squared.” The Mozilla employee also added that the team’s number 1 priority was “fixing Thunderbird’s UI/UX”.
The news was announced on Twitter by Ryan Lee Sipes, a product and business development manager for Thunderbird (via gHacks). Thunderbird, Mozilla’s free and open-source email client is coming to mobile devices.
