Dove – configuration and modifications for Mozilla Thunderbird

Dove is a suite of configurations & advanced modifications for Mozilla Thunderbird, designed to put the user first – with a focus on privacy, security, freedom, & usability.

Dove works by leveraging Thunderbird’s AutoConfig & Enterprise Policies functionality, and is installed on top of your standard, official Thunderbird installation. This allows us to go above and beyond what a simple user.js file can offer, without the security risks of using a fork. For example, forks often fall behind on Thunderbird updates, which can leave users open to severe, detrimental vulnerabilities. Dove’s approach allows users to continue receiving immediate updates, directly from Mozilla.

Dove’s approach also provides users with a seamless experience that is accessible and easy to use. Gone are the days of creating override files, manually keeping track of updates, & resetting old preferences. Not only is Dove the most effective & comprehensive approach to configuring Thunderbird, it is also the most accessible & easiest to use.

Dove’s settings & changes to Thunderbird are carefully considered based on extensive research & studying of Thunderbird’s inner workings. For an incomplete, non-exhaustive list of Dove’s features & enhancements, see here.

Dove is designed to maintain compatibility with email providers and to avoid breakage as much as possible, while still substantially improving privacy & security compared to vanilla Thunderbird & most other email clients.

This is free and open source software.
