Betterbird, the privacy-minded fork of Mozilla Thunderbird, shipped version 153.1.0-bb7 as its official release for all platforms. The fork continues to track upstream Thunderbird's core while layering on its own stability fixes and conservative feature choices, aimed at users who want fewer regressions than the faster-moving mainline builds.
What's New
- Improved IMAP reliability and mailbox integrity fixes, part of Betterbird's ongoing focus on data safety over rapid feature churn.
- Carried-forward Thunderbird fixes, including smarter account and OAuth handling, broader Exchange Web Services (EWS) and IMAP compatibility fixes, and improved calendar and attachment behavior.
- Security patches and crash fixes inherited from upstream, plus Betterbird-specific hardening.
- OpenPGP and S/MIME improvements for users who rely on Betterbird's built-in encryption support.
- Full compatibility maintained with existing Thunderbird profiles and most Thunderbird extensions.
Download
Get the installer directly from the official Betterbird site, it installs alongside or in place of Thunderbird and can import your existing profile automatically.
