The bird is out of the bag! We're introducing Thunderbird Pro (you already know Appointment!), a set of productivity AND privacy boosting services. And that includes...*drum roll*...an email service we're calling Thundermail. Find all the info in this excellent article:

Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service

"Thundermail" will be part of a suite of Thunderbird Pro services, as the team behind the venerable Mozilla email client begins building a complete ecosystem.

^Forbes

Woke this morning with an email from #Scotia bank about my account. I don't have a Scotia account.

Usually, I ignore these as phishing, but I have a #Thunderbird add-on that tells me when SPF and DKIM pass. And the "from" domain was truly scotia bank. So, yes, it did come from them.

Spent 30 minutes on the phone bouncing around, queuing and waiting while they checked. Their conclusion is that their customer carelessly entered my email address instead of their own, and they will contact the customer.

Two things.

Email addresses should always be validated with an OTP. When will banks learn this?

Second: Some people are a pain in the ass.

A good promo for #Thunderbird , it’s a very good email client. I use it as well (not that my use is any recommendation whatsoever next to Cory’s :)

La fonction "envoyer plus tard" pour Thunderbird 128, c'est possible ?

Comme Gmail qui autorise le choix de la date et l'heure.
J'ai trouvé une extension pas compatible et l'autre qui ne permet pas de choisir le jour.

#Thunderbird

Vraagje:

Er is veel te doen om de nieuwe 'regels' van Firefox.
Nu gebruik ik Thunderbird, wat ook van Mozzila is, voor mijn mail accounts.
Weet iemand of Thunderbird ook de nieuwe regels , zoals die van Firefox, heeft?
Ik heb het nergens kunnen vinden.
Zo ja: wat is een goed vergelijkbaar alternatief voor een desktop pc?
Voor m'n android tablet heb ik K-9 mail, maar die is er niet voor een 'gewone' pc.

Who's interested in a bi-weekly open conversation about @thunderbird roadmap, upcoming features, wrong decisions, difficult efforts, and everything in between?

I'm planning a recurring AMA in which you can submit questions, even hard ones, and myself alongside other folks from the core team can answer.

Just because being open about what we're doing is cool!

#thunderbird #AskMeAnything #question

In our latest office hours, we chat with Design Manager Laurel Terlesky to talk about the cross-platform design system she and her team are building. If you're curious about Open Source design and/or the look and feel of Thunderbird, check it out!

As promised, here is an interview with @ryanleesipes from #Thunderbird, on the whole #Mozilla and #Firefox terms of use situation.

We talk about why this had to happen, how Thunderbird will handle their own Terms of Use, what's happening at Mozilla, and what's changing.

I keep getting errors while trying to use my uni MS account with Thunderbird.

I don't really want to make use of the nuclear waste that it's Outlook.

Aparenty this is a known issue? Idk.

@thunderbird
I have been delaying my financial donation to #Thunderbird until I am able to confirm that NONE of it will go towards #Mozilla .

I've been using #Firefox for years and donating for years.

But with the recent 'spyware' TOS changes, Firefox is now dead to me.

So, can you confirm that when I click the 'Donate' button on the default Thunderbird start page, NONE of my donated cash will go to Mozilla?

(If so, perhaps the 'start page' of Thunderbird could be updated to make that fact clear. I suspect that there may be many others like me who've assumed FF and T'bird are funded by 'consolidated' revenue streams.)

My #RSS feedreader got this a few hours ago. Am looking fwd to changing over, later this arvo. Been a long time coming...

#thunderbird

Do the recent changes to #Firefox apply to #Thunderbird as well? #enshittification #tech

#Mozilla

Ya está sustituido #Mozilla #Thunderbird en el móvil por #FairEmail.

Hasta he donado para ayudar al proyecto.

Better dark mode. A global switch for threading and sorting! Monthly updates are ready for manual installs from the Thunderbird website. We show you how to make the change (and why some Linux users will need to wait) and all the features in 136.0

Looks like we all need to find replacements for #Firefox and #Thunderbird.

I'm trying out LibreWolf on Windows, but what can replace Thunderbird that's cross platform (Win, Mac, Linux, at least)? SeaMonkey, maybe? Is that independent from Mozilla?

#Mozilla seems intent on profit at the expense of users.

EDIT: Danke für die vielen Antworten. Ich schau mir jetzt erstmal LibreWolf an, ob der alles kann, was ich so brauche.

Na super, #Mozilla läßt klammheimlich sein Versprechen aus den „Terms of Service“ für #Firefox verschwinden, persönliche Daten nie zu verkaufen.

Ich hätte jetzt gern einen grafischen Browser unter Linux mit der gleichen Funktionalität, aber ohne Datensammelei.

Und was ist eigentlich mit #Thunderbird? Kommen da ähnliche Scherze? 😒​

#Datenschutz

But what really worries me are my emails on Thunderbird. I really hope they're being very careful with extrapolating that already awful language to my favorite email client.

#mozilla #thunderbird #opensource

Does anybody have a good link for a „How to create detailed #thunderbird logs“? I don’t really get how to do it.

I need detailed information what decisions Thunderbird „makes“ in terms of #smime/signatures/verification when opening a mail.

#logging
#foss
#mozilla

I have a good friend, for real, that is slowly going #blind. Is there a good plugin for #thunderbird
to read emails without involving a #bigCorp ?

I'm thinking of
1) Open email in window,
2) click button that says "read aloud"

She is not blind yet, this would be like training wheels to get her use to using a screen reader while she can still see a little.

#FLOSS #FOSS

No K9 Mail or #mozilla #thunderbird for #apple #ios

That's a shame ...
