> Like, what if you discovered that each time you send an email, Thunderbird also sends the email address you were writing to to a server owned by Mozilla?

Then I wouldn't be surprised.

I haven't read Thunderbirds privacy policy in detail, so for all I know there's a clause about collecting email addresses in there. Could even be for a good reason, spam filtering for example.

And as mentioned I take that into account when writing emails. I do indeed avoid writing certain stuff and avoid sending certain mails due to privacy. For the rest I see it as an acceptable risk/reward tradeoff.

I'm not a tinfoil hat kinda guy, but the innocence is gone when it comes to modern software.
