Arm platforms are the hot thing in 2021 with Microsoft's Windows 10 ARM, Apple Silicon, and Raspberry Pi, Pinephone/Pinebook, and who knows what's next!

This page is to track progress for running Thunderbird natively on ARM64/Aarch64 based platforms. Eventually Thunderbird will support Windows 10 ARM, Apple Silicon, and Linux on ARM64.

Linux Aarch64

The problem was the two-step verification process with iCloud. Basically, if you want to use Thunderbird and iCloud together you have to generate an app specific password when you log into the Apple ID website. Here's a link that has the instructions. Thunderbird is now ready for use. Open the Applications folder and start by double-clicking on the Thunderbird icon. You may get a security warning that Thunderbird has been downloaded from the Internet. Free svn client for mac. Because you downloaded Thunderbird from the official site, you can click Open to continue.

Linux-aarch64 is a Tier 2 platform. Builds are available on Treeherder for comm-central. There is no automatic update support. This will remain a tier 2 platform until either Firefox upgrades it to tier 1 or we have sufficient community interest.

While this build will run on small screens such as a Pinephone, the UI is definitely not optimized for such use. You can still plug most of these devices into a larger screen and use Thunderbird just fine. Firefox has a similar situation. The PostmarketOS team has developed a mobile-config-firefox package to make Firefox easier to use on small screens. It has limitations, but it may be a good starting point for making Thunderbird small screen friendlier.

Known to run on:

Apple Silicon

Current Status - 2021-01-28

Initial support for running Thunderbird on Apple Silicon hardware landed in comm-central!This includes a new Universal 'shippable' build for macOS as well.

More info to come in this spot!

Windows 10 ARM

Will be completed after Apple Silicon support lands and will be a tier one platform. Currently, it's unknown if OTR chat encryption will be possible due to lack of a supported compiler. (libotr and its dependencies do not build with MSVC-style compilers that are used for building Thunderbird itself. MinGW does not support Windows on ARM.)

NOTE: Thunderbird 78.3.X doesn’t allow adding self-signed SMTP certificates. This causes an error when sending messages via Bridge. To work around this issue, temporarily set the SSL field to None instead of STARTTLS when setting up your account on Thunderbird. Intel high definition audio driver for mac os.

In this article, we explain how Bridge secures its connection to your local email client and how to troubleshoot the most common errors.

Securing Proton Bridge to Client connection

Bridge sends your decrypted data to your chosen email client on a restricted communication channel that never leaves your device (via the loopback/localhost interface on 127.0.0.1).

Additionally, Bridge, by default, adds a layer of encryption (STARTTLS or SSL) to prevent unauthorized apps on your device from monitoring the local data that is exchanged. This is done using a self-signed TLS/SSL certificate that Bridge generates when you first set up the app.

How to troubleshoot connection errors between your Client and Bridge

Sometimes the email client will fail to connect properly to Bridge, in which case Bridge will show a warning message similar to “Bridge failed to connect to your email client”.

In this case, we recommend you begin troubleshooting by first trying the following three steps:

Thunderbird
  1. Remove any Proton accounts from your email client;
  2. Clear cache inside Bridge
  3. Retry the setup process
