Initial support is expected to land in the Thunderbird 87 dev cycle. Patches are currently being tested on try-comm-central and are expected to hit the review cycle soon.
Initial support for running Thunderbird on Apple Silicon hardware landed in comm-central!
This will be a tier 1 platform.
This includes a new Universal "shippable" build for macOS as well.
 
More info to come in this spot!

Will be completed after Apple Silicon support lands and will be a tier one platform. Currently, it's unknown if OTR chat encryption will be possible due to lack of a supported compiler. (libotr and its dependencies do not build with MSVC-style compilers that are used for building Thunderbird itself. MinGW does not support Windows on ARM.)
