Most of the exciting improvements haven’t been rolled out yet, but now is a great time to give Thunderbird a try, especially if you’re tired of the resource-heavy Electron desktop mail apps (like Spark) that have increasingly become more popular. The new structure and increased funding has led to a hiring spree - Thunderbird said “we’ve been rapidly expanding our team” in the blog post - which means faster development for the email client. Mozilla moved the project to a new for-profit corporate entity in 2020, known as MZLA Technologies Corporation, and user donations increased by 21% in 2021. Thankfully, Thunderbird’s future is starting to look bright again. However, Thunderbird started to decline after Mozilla moved some of its developers to other projects in 2012, and then cut off most funding in 2015 - leaving Thunderbird’s future entirely up to independent donations. Mozilla originally created Thunderbird alongside the Firefox web browser, with both applications serving as a replacement for the older Mozilla Suite.
