Overview of how and where to get help
__TOC__
* While we will do our best to help you with your problem, please remember that Thunderbird is a '''free and open''' source project. This means that - in addition to being able to provide Thunderbird free of charge - many of our activities (particularly support, documentation and customization) are mostly '''volunteer''' efforts. Given that we don't have the resources of a commercial software company, we rely on our users and our community to help each other via open channels i.e. '''our support knowledgebase''' at http://support.mozillamessaging.com and '''our English language support forum''': http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging . There are no other official support channels i.e. '''we do not offer paid, telephone, email,fax, or chat support for Thunderbird'''.
