Thunderbird for Android is a powerful, privacy-focused email app. Effortlessly manage multiple email accounts from one app, with a Unified Inbox option for maximum productivity. Built on open-source technology and supported by a dedicated team of developers alongside a global community of volunteers, Thunderbird never treats your private data as a product.

Thunderbird for Android is based on K-9 Mail, which comes with a rich history of success and functionality in open source email.

Forking

If you want to use a fork of this project please ensure that you replace the OAuth client setup in the app-k9mail/src/{debug,release}/kotlin/app/k9mail/auth/K9OAuthConfigurationFactory.kt and app-thunderbird/src/{debug,daily,beta,release}/kotlin/net/thunderbird/android/auth/TbOAuthConfigurationFactory.kt with your own OAuth client setup and ensure that the redirectUri is different to the one used in the main project. This is to prevent conflicts with the main app when both are installed on the same device.
