Sorry for misunderstanding that! And if you have any more ideas on how to make Thunderbird better, especially for beginners, you can also submit them to connect.mozilla.org, which is the official spot for new ideas and suggestions from the community.

Introducing our Public Roadmaps - The Thunderbird Blog At Thunderbird, we firmly believe in the strength of listening to our community’s needs and wants, and balancing it with our resources and capabilities. While this has always been part of our ethos, we want to start 2026 by making our goals easier to read and comprehend at roadmaps.thunderbird.net, where you will find our roadmaps […]

We have a shiny new roadmap site, and an equally shiny new blog post to tell our community all about it:
