Thunderbird is undergoing a massive rework to get rid of technical and interface debt, improve sustainability, and create a consistent design system. The project aims to make the code base leaner, rebuild the interface from scratch, and switch to a monthly release schedule. Thunderbird, as a monolithic application, has faced challenges due to technical debt and a lack of resources. The project is now owned by MZLA Technologies and actively developed by a growing group of paid employees. Despite changes, Thunderbird remains open and collaborative.
