Mozilla Thunderbird is a widely used open-source email client with features like multiple account support, strong security, and add-ons. Debian 12 includes Thunderbird in its official repositories, making installation straightforward.

Step 1: Update System Packages

Always update your Debian system before installing new software:

Install Thunderbird using the default Debian package manager:

This will pull in Thunderbird along with all required dependencies.

Step 3: Verify Installation

Check that Thunderbird has been installed successfully:

If installed correctly, you’ll see the version number.

Step 4: Launch Thunderbird

You can start Thunderbird in two ways:

• From the Applications Menu → search for Thunderbird.

• Or launch it via terminal:
