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”.
