In their own words
Mozilla Thunderbird
Mozilla Thunderbird is a free, open-source email application for Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android. Users can manage multiple accounts separately or combine them in a unified inbox. The app includes calendar, contacts, and task tools; desktop users can also work offline and schedule messages. Its interface is customizable, and it supports third-party add-ons. Thunderbird says it does not put ads in the inbox or sell inbox advertising, and that user donations fund the project. It describes privacy and security as priorities and says its open-source code has been reviewed and improved over 20 years. The application is part of MZLA Technologies Corporation, owned by Mozilla.org. Help and getting-started resources are available for desktop and mobile users, with contributors around the world supporting the project. Thunderbird is available free forever, with donations optional; its listed mobile platform is Android.
