Mozilla promises an avalanche of news for her Thunderbird mail client

Mozilla Thunderbird is not dead indeed it is ready to renew itself for stability. Functionality also speed. To say it is not just rumors but directly the developers, the same who have Firefox in hand, the web browser that we know well after Google Chrome and Safari.

In this case Thunderbird, long since no longer updated if not in security, will find new life and in this 2019 that has just opened will see the release of many new features that will make it ” faster, easier to use and more stable “. At least according to its developers.

According to the blog on the Mozilla portal, the team working on the new e-mail client saw the addition of 8 new employees who worked full-time on Thunderbird. Not only because in the next few weeks these will be added 6 new developers that will allow the company to make Thunderbird even more stable, faster but also easier to use.

Mozilla Thunderbird: how will it be transformed?

How will engineers and developers be able to ” transform ” Thundebird? The main reason why Thunderbird will undergo an important change is in the increase in donors to the project. We know how Thunderbird and Mozilla somehow support itself with the help of the individual contributors that are the main source of funding.

Here in the course of this new 2019, Thunderbird, will undergo changes in terms of graphics with the introduction of a new graphical interface designed to try to satisfy the demands of its users. Not only because the e-mail client will also use a totally rewritten code trying to increase the loading speed of the entire system, reducing delays.

Important news will also be the one concerning the best support for GMail, given that this is one of the major e-mail providers. In Mozilla, it was well thought to concentrate some resources to improve all this. Here the developers are examining support for GMail labels and ensuring other specific features of the typical experience of the Google client, translating them as fully as possible into Thunderbird.

It also works to improve notifications in Thunderbird, trying to integrate them better with the integrated notification system of each operating system. Working on this function, Thunderbird will be more ” native ” on every PC or desktop and will make it easier to manage notifications from the app.

Obviously, we will not forget about the new Thunderbird with an eye to the safety factor. Here we think of the native inclusion of a cryptographic system that will be responsible for coding all incoming and outgoing mail communications from the user’s computer, in order to make any man-in-the-middle attacks harmless.
