Thunderbird Launches Open Source Services to Rival Gmail and Office365


Thunderbird launches Thundermail and Pro services to offer an open-source alternative to Gmail and Office365, focused on privacy, freedom, and user control.

Although the code has undergone significant restructuring (leading some insiders to jokingly call it a “Ship of Theseus” situation), the main goal remains consistent: to enable secure and private file-sharing conveniently. This experimental feature, developed in collaboration with Flower AI, offers optional artificial intelligence functionalities for users who want them while also addressing privacy concerns head-on. Over time, if usage levels and the project’s financial footing seem secure, Thunderbird aims to introduce free tiers for everyone—albeit with limitations, such as reduced storage capacity.
