Don't mind me, just reading the news while trying to figure out a #Thunderbird issue where it doesn't download all the emails...
Uso #Thunderbird praticamente da sempre, e negli anni ho donato varie volte
Ma negli ultimi anni devo dire il lavoro che è stato fatto per migliorarlo è senza eguali: merita solo premi ed elogi immensi!
(specialmente l'arrivo di TB sul mobile con #K9)
Per questo ho donato di nuovo oggi una somma maggiore
Chiunque usi Thunderbird e ami il #FOSS, consideri la possibilità di donare per il progetto e renderlo sempre migliore oltre che #LIBERO
No need for spells, eldritch invocations, or inherent abilities to see Thunderbird's dark side. To enable dark mode in Thunderbird:

That's cool. But I'm getting more and more worried about the state of the #RSS reader in #thunderbird
Before, it read all the feeds on my list of feeds to read. No sweat, no drama. Now it's reading less and less of a chunk. It' starts reading and then simply stops without telling me why. I'm having to subdivide the list into sublists and call the reader on each to have them read in full. That's very annoying. And time-consuming.
The Thunderbird Beta channel just updated to version 126.0b1, and it brings major visual improvements to Cards View! 😍

A big round of applause to Micah and Sol from our UX team for their awesome work on this, and to our community for your valuable feedback here and on our #Thunderbird UX mailing list (thunderbird.topicbox.com/group…).

I really appreciate Thunderbird's team, and these updates are going to finally put it into the running with other modern offerings. I migrated to using it as my daily driver for email management a few years ago, and I'm glad I did, but I'm also so excited to be looking at desktop improvements and an android app.
