Thunderbird is an independent, community-driven project that is managed and overseen by the Thunderbird Council, which is elected by the Thunderbird Community.
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
You could switch to KMail, which is developed by the KDE community, organised in KDE e.V., an actual registered non-profit.
Or Evolution, developed by the GNOME project, organised in the GNOME foundation, another registered non-profit.
Thunderbird is more a community project that’s outside of Mozilla’s jurisdiction at this point

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?

That said, GNOME has close ties to IMB/RedHat, so use that info however you see fit.
