When Mozilla announced plans to drop the email client Thunderbird about ten years ago, some users feared that this could be the end of the popular open source email client. Things have turned out different though. The project is thriving, thanks to an increasing number of donations that it is receiving.

This allowed the team to expand Thunderbird to mobile platforms, for the first time in history. A suitable candidate was found in K9-Mail for Android, which has since then be renamed to Thunderbird Mobile. A version for iOS is also in the works, but not yet available.

Recently, plans were announced to create new services. The first reactivates Firefox Send, a file transfer service. The second, Thunderbird Appointment, is an entirely new service.

Thunderbird Business Development and Community Manager Ryan Sipes announced two major additions to the portfolio on Friday.
  • Thundermail, an email service.
  • Thunderbird Pro, a list of services (Appointment, Send, and Assist).

I welcome every new mail service. Gmail and Outlook.com, which are de facto standard, became too data hungry. I'll totally sign up for Thundermail once it's available.

You probably use "AdGuard – Popup Overlays" filter in your adblocking extension.
I reported it already more than hour ago
I'm not sure. uBlock Origin didn't indicate anything was blocked so I didn't even try to turn it off. I will try it when I'll have a chance. Thanks!

When such cosmetic filters are applied, they are not counted as typical adblock, so the uBO icon in the toolbar won't add any number, so it's easy to miss unless you check filtering logs.

Thank you! You're right! Some AdGuard filter did in fact block the textbox for entering e-mail address and uBlock Origin didn't show anything.
