Before we get too far into 2024, we wanted to think about everything that went well - and the things that didn't go so great - for Thunderbird in 2023. Don't get us wrong, while we think some amazing things happened last year, we also want to admit what we could have done differently. 🙂 😐 😕

As always, we'd love to know your thoughts on where - and how - we can improve! 💙

Honestly this kind of communication and regular updates is the type of transparency that keeps people invested in the project.
Keep up the good work!

Seems not very wise to add Exchange via EWS as Microsoft deprecated it. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/exchange-team-blog/retirement-of-exchange-web-services-in-exchange-online/ba-p/3924440

Why not use Microsoft Graph?


Retirement of Exchange Web Services in Exchange Online

Today, we are announcing that on October 1, 2026, we will start blocking EWS requests from non-Microsoft apps to Exchange Online.

@zvasilev EWS is our best way to enable support for both Exchange Online and on-premise installations.

Graph API was considered & may be considered again in future, but currently provides narrower support than EWS & lacks some functionality for desktop applications. Even with the announcement that EWS support will be removed for Exchange Online, it's still valuable in the short term for enabling access for a wide userbase & in the long term for supporting users using on-premise installations.

a Matrix chat room, revert the search integrated into the app title. Add Send In Background as an option, not a hidden config option.

Please keep up the great work. I enjoy using Thunderbird and contribute as much as I am able. Just like the WHO has a list of essential medications, IMO Thunderbird, K-9 Mail, and Firefox count as essential software.
