About this work

The following is the UML diagrams of (some) major components of Thunderbird. I started this work to document and share my understanding of Thunderbird architecture while working on a threading bug. This is a work in progress and I am planning to add more diagrams over time. I don't plan to cover everything, just important stuff.

I use only the basic elements of UML, and try to keep it simple as much as possible. I deliberately use some elements non-normative way, don't expect a perfect UML diagram. You can find the description of the common elements in the legend.
