    Thunderbird is more a community project that's outside of Mozilla's jurisdiction at this point

      Thunderbird is built by a for-profit subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation, it just isn’t the Mozilla Corporation.

        Thunderbird is an independent, community-driven project that is managed and overseen by the Thunderbird Council, which is elected by the Thunderbird Community.

        No. It's not.

        Edit: sort of is, under a subsidiary called MZLA but still seems more independent from mozilla and their shenanigans (I hope)

            OK... Now what actionable thing can I do with this info? Use outlook? What good would that do?

            I want firefox to exist to create a good browser and thunderbird to exist for a good email client. Is that too much to ask?

              I don’t think you need to do anything different. Sometimes when I learn new things I say “oh, interesting.”

                Fair nuff. Sometimes it's just overwhelming getting information of something I can't do anything by. Like oh great another thing that's going wrong rn... Woo hoo
