Thunderbird is a simple and user-oriented email client designed to be easy to use, setup and customize, while also offering you enough features packed in the smallest possible package in order to satisfy all your communication needs on a daily basis. Thunderbird is a free email application that’s easy to set up and customize - and it’s loaded with great features!

Thunderbird can manage multiple email, newsgroup, and news feed accounts and supports multiple identities within accounts. Features such as quick search, saved search folders ("virtual folders"), advanced message filtering, message grouping, and labels help manage and find messages. On Linux-based systems, system mail (movemail) accounts are supported. Thunderbird provides basic support for system-specific new email notifications and can be extended with advanced notification support using an add-on.

From Thunderbird’s main window, you can also start real-time conversations with your contacts using different networks. Thunderbird also allows you to search through your archive and received emails to find the information you are looking for.

Extensions allow the addition of features through the installation of XPInstall modules (known as "XPI" or "zippy" installation) via the add-ons website that also features an update functionality to update the extensions.

Thunderbird supports a variety of themes for changing its overall look and feel. These packages of CSS and image files can be downloaded via the add-ons website at Mozilla Add-ons.
