This was proposed at Mozilla Balkans 2011 summit.

Comment 3

[Paul [pwd]]

I'm guessing this won't see Windows Mobile for the same reasons that Firefox won't.

Has this bug is quite vast, setting dependency in order to separate each task, for instance: 
Thunderbird for iPhone, 
Thunderbird for Android, 
Thunderbird for any other mobile platform,

But this is not what the reporter is asking for.
That said, there are currently no plans to provide this

Comment 12

[Amir Farsi]

But Gaia email will be part of Firefox OS and it's email app, not for Android, iOS or Windows Phone.

Comment 14

[deepak.vasudevan]

I am looking for this too. Mozilla should definitely considering having an Android and IOS apps for its application

Thunderbird was primarily designed for desktop use and there was no official Thunderbird mobile app available. However, there are alternative email client apps for mobile devices (Picked from https://mobilecheck.pk/) that you can use to access your Thunderbird email accounts. Some popular choices include:

K-9 Mail (Android): K-9 Mail is an open-source email client for Android devices that supports a variety of email providers, including those using IMAP and POP3 protocols.

Aqua Mail (Android): Aqua Mail is another third-party email app for Android devices with support for multiple email accounts and various email protocols.

iOS Mail App (iPhone/iPad): On iOS devices, you can use the built-in Mail app to configure and access your Thunderbird email accounts by setting up the appropriate IMAP or POP3 settings.

Other Third-Party Email Apps (iOS): There are several third-party email apps available on the App Store for iOS devices that you can use to access your Thunderbird email accounts.
