I have 2 concerns:
-
I recently read the firefox Terms Of Use paragraph that people are posting which doesn’t sound nice in terms of privacy.
-
Back when Mozilla had their own Mastodon instance called mozilla.social, every time I signed in I would be blasted with trackers according to uBlock Origin.
I’m no expert in these things and I want to ask if anyone recommends that I switch away from Thunderbird Mail and if so, which open source email client? Thanks in advance.

What’s a good alternative?
Mozilla’s telemetry change in Thunderbird Android makes me say “find a different client.”
Generally, you should pick and choose your battles. Mozilla on the whole isn’t a company whose software I trust anymore.
This is normal usage stats. Every app has that. You can opt out and you get asked when launching the app the first time. This isn’t that bad.
Stop gaslighting me.
What else is there to use on my Samsung galaxy s23 ultra?
This doesn’t bode well at all: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/about/
Thunderbird operates in a separate, for-profit subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation.
A free mail client from a for-profit company? What’s the revenue model? Sounds like I must be the product somehow.
The Thunderbird for-profit entity, MZLA Technologies Corporation, is distinct from the Firefox for-profit entity, Mozilla Corporation, and both are wholly owned by the non-profit entity, Mozilla Foundation.
MZLA (Thunderbird) is funded by user donations, you can see the public stats https://stats.thunderbird.net/#financials
