We're not done with Thunderbird Supernova!

As promised, we will continue to improve the UI and functionality of message threads and Cards view.

We outline the upcoming changes in our Thunderbird UX mailing list here: https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/ux/Tdb49a4666565e68e-M4aba7d876e0ced9c8d66ca58

A mockup with developer comments is also available from the link.

💡 If you have valuable feedback to offer about this, please reply to the mailing list so our developers & community see it!

Why did my #Thunderbird (upgraded to v115.3.1) grow an empty window frame & titlebar above the menu bar? #UI #UX

I have also lost the ability to re-size columns in the message-list pane.

I'm a long time Thunderbird user and one of the most important things I can say is: DON"T MAKE CHANGES. My backup and sync scripts still don't work from the last bit of crap where you started using snap. Just stop. If something works (which Thunderbird more or less does) quit breaking it.

I would nove a "security mode" switch for Thunderbird. Like Arkenfox for Firefox, but with the difference that Thunderbird is not sponsored by Ads:

- ublock preinstalled with *.zip and *.mov blacklist, as well as malware. Ads are irrelevant as you should just use
- sanitized HTML by default
- no javascript at all
- block all trackers
- install signature checker addon (forgot the name)
- reduce information your browser sends
- deactivate all unnecessary features, its a Mailclient based on a Browser, I am sure thats possible

There is no Ublock Origin on the Thunderbird store, even though it and also the permissionless version work!

Firefox Translate will be huge, looking forward to that!

But whats also really bad is, that Thunderbird Conversations is broken (afaik) and there is no replacement, so having the thread just display below each other, including your replies

#Development #OpenSource #Thunderbird

@Rhababerbarbar Thanks for the feedback! The Conversations view is on the roadmap - in the meantime, there is an add-on you can use (usual caveat that add-ons are supported by the individual developer): https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/gmail-conversation-view/

Oh it works again! In that case if you simply adopt this addon and make it continue working, thats more than enough.

DKIM verifier is another one that should be preinstalled and enabled. Its not intrusive.

Also, having sync between phone and desktop is important. On Android I simply have my contact storage, this is not there on Linux. I have .vcf files, but thats subpar.

Having sync only the contacts with mails from phone to Desktop would be great!
