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

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!

Quick FYI 🏁 🏎️

Prior to #GoDaddy killing my #POP #Email client access on June 2 as part of #Microsoft's mandate to force users onto its #Exchange protocol, I switched from #Outlook 2016 to #Thunderbird 114 Beta (which still connects w/ #POP3 + #OAuth2 - unsure if it's a glitch, but it works)

Since Thunderbird team is moving towards its new #Supernova #UI for Thunderbird 115, there's a mixture of old & new menus

#Thunderbird family: Thank you for the wealth of feedback about our redesigned logo. We listened to it, appreciated it, and took some action.

Your loudest criticism was that our beloved bird looked a bit evil or sinister (LEFT, version 7).

So, in this subtly improved version (RIGHT, version 7.5), we've rotated the eye and tweaked the gradient under the beak to look less harsh.

We think this results in a calmer expression, making the bird look less predatory and more protective.

They really look awesome together, don't they?

This summer, please reorganize your task bars appropriately 😆

#Firefox #Thunderbird

Now I have to go and rearrange my Firefox and @thunderbird icons on the task bar! They need to be side-by-side.

Is it just me, or does there need to be a huge VS in the middle...

#Firefox #Thunderbird

Just like our software, the current (and yes, beloved) Thunderbird logo has seen small, iterative improvements throughout the last 20 years. But now the software is evolving into something more modern, and we believe it deserves a fresh logo that properly represents this revitalization.

Introducing the brand new Thunderbird logo, designed by the creator of the original #Firefox and #Thunderbird logos, @jonhicks 🎉

We asked Jon Hicks, creator of the original Firefox and Thunderbird logos, to re-imagine his iconic design in light of our exciting future.

Add your opinions to the mix, and vote on the ones you believe in.

Just like #Firefox, you can add your own custom start page to #Thunderbird. What are some of your favorite start pages?
