Since you seem to be getting excited about the redesigned calendar in #Thunderbird Supernova, it's an appropriate time to mention that the ENTIRE application is getting a modern UI overhaul in 2023!

You can track our progress here: developer.thunderbird.net/plan…

(That link also leads to our Thunderbird Android roadmap).

hopefully with the new redesign, comes new accessibility and a better caching strategy. For example, at least on linux, orca and any assistive technology product totally freezes till the huge amount of thunderbird items gets transfered in bulk over dbus, all at once. A good enough solution would be for that call to return items in a pagination stile, keeping track of the current level inside thunderbird itself. A very good implementation of this is done by firefox, the lag is most of the time from the page itself, not the cashing implementation. Also, any webview as in from the rss reader or google gmail sign in in non-trivial cases is totally inaccessible, nvda on windows says unknown and orca doesn't even read it, perhaps that part can be improved as well if you're at it. Thunderbird is an awesome email client, those accessibility fixes can make it even more awesome, so I hope something can be done about it.

Looks nice! But please do not copy the Outlook UX as pictured here (developer.thunderbird.net/plan…) and keep the traditional message list up and reading area down approach as an option.

@jberg Note the "Thunderbird Android roadmap" part of the post you replied to 😉

Short answer: yes!

@jberg Our plan is to get the Android version out the door, and then figure out how to approach iOS.

We WANT an iOS version, but right now we only have enough dev hours and people power to focus on Supernova and the Android version.

Thanks for understanding!

Awesome! Regarding the #fediverse, can you speak to adding #ActivitySub and where that fits on the roadmap beyond the 115 (2023) release?

Can’t wait! Any word on the iOS version? I remember hearing about it back in May, but nothing since.

@patrick That was an Android version, which we're solely focused on getting out the door first.

We want an iOS version, but that's going to be further down the road.

That looks actually good and addresses at least two of my biggest issues with Thunderbird so far. 👍

This might just make me go back to using Thunderbird again (after more than 10 years)! Microsoft's plan(s) for Outlook on desktop seems confusing at the moment.

You do intend to keep multiple inboxes in one view, without having to toggle the entire app context between accounts, yes? Because having to switch app context between my 7 different accounts would be a straight-up nightmare.

You guys are on a roll!

The multi-line view is a nice addition and will be welcomed by many.

@thunderbird Personally, I hope and expect the classic "sortable table" view and the quick filter *toolbar* (which allows you to toggle between searching in the sender's address, subject, body ...) will remain available?

With #protonmail I wanted to wait for the native desktop apps, but #thunderbird - this UI makes me want to try this now!

Does thunderbird beta have this UI and features?

@gandalf_the_blue Not yet, although you will start to see some of the new "Supernova" elements in Daily channel by the end of the year.

was this the redesign that got folks upset a couple of months ago?

The design is looking awesome! I might have to ditch my current mailing app and go back to thunderbird 😄

@wolfie @Ytrezar You might need to ping someone from the Firefox team for that question.

K-9 Mail does currently support openPGP when OpenKeychain is installed.
