      Can anyone confirm whether or not it’s built on Electron?

      The closest I can find is from Feb 2023, saying that at that time it would not be Electron:

      Mozilla also still plans to use the Firefox web browser as the core platform for Thunderbird. That leaves Thunderbird as one of the few cross-platform mail applications that isn’t an Electron app or based on web technologies in some way

      So possibly Electron-like but based on Firefox rather than Chromium?

        Electron apps bundle chromium…. It would be ridiculous for Mozilla to bundle their competitions web browser to make Thunderbird lol.

      Is it one though? I’m having a difficult time finding the source code of this new version.
