Summary

  • Mozilla-backed email client Thunderbird is developing a new set of subscription services for businesses, plus a new email domain, as it takes on the likes of Gmail and Outlook.
  • The offering, currently in beta, will include an AI-powered scheduling assistant, file-sharing tools, and the @thundermail.com or @tb.pro domain email addresses.
  • There will be both free and paid tiers, but the pricing for the latter has not yet been announced.
  • Sipes, the managing director at Thunderbird, said it should have launched a decade ago, but it is better late than never, given the rising backlash against Big Tech and increase in demand for privacy.
  • The service is expected to launch this year.
