+ Thunderbird is a free and open source email, newsfeed, chat, and + calendaring client, that’s easy to set up and customize. One of the core + principles of Thunderbird is the use and promotion of open standards - + this focus is a rejection of our world of closed platforms and services + that can’t communicate with each other. We want our users to have freedom + and choice in how they communicate. +
++ Thunderbird is an open source project, which means anyone can contribute + ideas, designs, code, and time helping fellow users. +
