If it was only the ads ... the real privacy nightmare is that Microsoft has removed all client-side MUA capabilities from Outlook; everything is now handled server-side, meaning that Microsoft is synchronizing all mailboxes and calendars on their own servers, whatever your actual provider. Yummy.
@gilles Indeed. So now when a person adds Gmail to Outlook, they have both Google and Microsoft farming their data and training AIs.
We are doing everything in our power within the next year to make Thunderbird a complete end-to-end solution for people who want to escape the Gmail + Outlook ecosystems.
Last time I ran my own mail server was about 10 years ago, so my knowledge may be out of date, but I recall that running my own mail server was pretty easy to screw up in a lot of ways. That was the driver to move all my email to Google, but I’ve never been comfortable with that.
Are there *any* hosted solutions that aren’t subject to privacy issues or that the Mozilla Foundation would recommend?
@Dogzilla @gilles We work a lot with @mailfence and if you go to the Thunderbird Menu (hamburger menu in the upper left) > New Account > Get a New E-mail, there is a convenient link to set up a new paid e-mail service with them.
layout.framerate doesn’t work in Wayland (Nvidia) as it should for Thunderbird Snap package. But, it works flawlessly with .deb package from Mozilla PPA.

Is it something I report to Ubuntu or Mozilla?
