An Untold History of Thunderbird

WHY was Thunderbird 115 called "Supernova?" What caused the press to declare Thunderbird dead back in 2012? And how did we turn the ship around? Ryan Sipes answers these questions and much more in his personal recollection of Thunderbird's history.

Wer nicht möchte, dass seine E-Mail-Zugangsdaten inklusive E-Mails an Microsoft abfließen, sollte ein alternatives E-Mail-Programm verwenden. Sofern "Neues Outlook" bereits im Einsatz ist, sollte das Konto gelöscht und anschließend die Zugangsdaten geändert werden. Eine mögliche Alternative: Thunderbird. 👇

Avoid missing attachments in Thunderbird with attachment keywords that you can customize!

Go to Thunderbird Menu > Settings > Composition, and scroll to 'Attachments.' Click on 'Keywords' to maintain YOUR custom keyword list. 📎

If you're, ahem, strategically not attaching documents when you say you've attached them, you can turn reminders off across Thunderbird in Attachment Settings - or disable reminders for the current message when the attachment reminder pops up. 😉

Dnešního rána jsem se rozhodl skoncovat s Outlookem a přejít i na Macu na Thunderbird.

A to potom co mi Outlook udělal v mailech na 2 ze 4 schránek zřejmě nějakou jeho chybou IMAPu paseku viz. screenshot 🙈

It's crazy to see how #Thunderbird is improving those past months. After years of inactivity, it's amazing to see it reborn.

An easy way to help is to use the Beta version. There is not enough people providing feedback and metrics.

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

- 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

#Development #OpenSource #Thunderbird

great great news.

Also (and now something totally different) : can you guys please make #Thunderbird light again ? The last UI updates makes it feeling heavy, less reactive, more bloaty ; despite my i5 !

We all just want to QUICKLY browse messages right

Like the legend of the phoenix, we're resurrecting Mozilla Send, an end-to-end encrypted file share service, and bringing it under our wings as Thunderbird Send. In this clip from S1E5 of the ThunderCast, developer Chris Aquino gives us a sneak peek of the new - wait, old - er, reborn project!

Learn how #Thunderbird Send will help you overcome your file upload woes, respect your privacy, safeguard against abuse, and hopefully change your #email experience for the better.

I donated to @thunderbird today. I've been using #Thunderbird for over two decades and it has always been free and open source. Support an e-mail client that doesn't pollute your brain with ads and doesn't sell your data by adding to the community funding:

thunderbird.net/donate

BUT!!! No "share to Mastodon" after the donation?? Really??

#FreeTheInbox

Give to Thunderbird

^Thunderbird

Okay, new @thunderbird version asked me to donate and for the first time I did.
I am using thunderbird since... ever, at least 20? years and donating the price of a good retail software is the least i can do.
Also sharing the special link from the new version, because it looks so much nicer than the normal donation page ^^"
THank you everyone involved

OMG the latest #Thunderbird update (115).

But finally stumbled across a Reddit post that helped me fix the most objectionable (to me) change:

reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comme…

After the updated, the message list seemed cramped, line height way too small.

This is because the default "density" changed from, I guess, medium to compact?

That setting lives under the "hamburger menu" (three horizontal lines in the upper right)

Changed it back to medium density, breathed a sigh of relief.

And today we have more mock-ups and improvements to share with you!

Read our newest post from Elizabeth about changes coming to the Message Context menu, and give us your feedback on the mailing list:

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: thunderbird.topicbox.com/group…

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!
