ThunderCast #1: Origin Stories | ThunderCast | Episode 1

Welcome to the debut episode of the Thunderbird podcast, which we're affectionately calling the ThunderCast! It's an inside look at the making of Thunderbird, alongside community-driven conversations with our friends in the open-source world.

If you're an #iOS #developer, love #opensource, and have a certain passion for email, you should definitely keep an eye on the #Thunderbird careers page!

thunderbird.net/careers/

Within the next few months, we'll be hiring someone to help us lay the groundwork for Thunderbird on iOS. When that career opportunity goes live, we will announce it here.

(So yes, we can 100% confirm we plan to develop an iOS version)

Work with Us

Come work with the Thunderbird team on the most popular open source desktop email client in the world. We are a distributed team comprised of people spread across the globe working on decentralized communication technology based on open standards.

I updated my #Thunderbird Beta, and was welcomed by the redesigned navigation bar, part of the Supernova roadmap.

I quite like the UI changes so far, well done @thunderbird 👍

You're looking at the #Audacity project for Episode 1 of Thunder⚡Cast, our new monthly podcast.

We recorded it on Friday, and it's being edited into shape this week. Expect it before the end of the month. We'll share the RSS feed when it goes live.

What about #PgP in the future of k9/Thunderbird for android?

#dev #mobile #k9mail #android #thunderbird #opensource

While K-9 Mail is developed in the open, following its development on GitHub can be somewhat tedious for a casual observer. So we’re trying something new and summarizing the most notable things that happened in the past month as we head down the exciting road to Thunderbird for Android!

Thunderbird for Android / K-9 Mail: February Progress Report

As we ramp up our development efforts for Thunderbird on Android, it's time to offer regular progress reports. Here's what's new!

^{Christian Ketterer (The Thunderbird Blog)}

In this ongoing series of conversations, we introduce you to the people behind the software you use every day.

When and why did they fall in love with technology? What does their day-to-day schedule look like? What attracts them to open-source projects? And what’s their playlist of choice when hacking away on #Thunderbird?

Let’s kick it off with the person leading the charge on Thunderbird’s modern redesign: Product Design manager Alex Castellani @alecaddd!

Meet The Team: Alex Castellani, Product Design Manager

Meet the humans behind the Thunderbird software you use and love. Let's kick it off with our Product Design manager, Alex Castellani!

^{Jason Evangelho (The Thunderbird Blog)}

Here's an early look at some fun content we're launching next week!

We're calling it "Meet The Team." It's a series of conversations with each member of the #Thunderbird team, about stuff like:

☑️ When they fell in love with tech or software programming.

☑️ What attracted them to #OpenSource.

☑️ What their day-to-day looks like hacking on Thunderbird

☑️ And whatever else we decide to ask them and they're willing to answer!

We'll start with @alecaddd's origin story... Stay tuned for more!

A recent #Thunderbird Daily build introduced a nice, subtle change to the Application menu, aligning it with the window action buttons.

And a small green dot indicates that an update is available.

Thoughts?

Thunderbird 115 "Supernova" will be intuitive and welcoming to new users, while remaining familiar and comfortable for our veteran users.

See how we're accomplishing that balance with this preview of the new Folder Pane: blog.thunderbird.net/2023/02/t…

Pencils and pens look very old as well. That's because they dither very slightly around an evolved functional shape that happens to be quite simple.

I'm glad that I can choose whether to "enjoy" having the shape of my tools arbitrarily rearranged. I don't need to have scrollbars shrunk, whitespace added, tail fins, uncomfortably skinny jeans, optical function of glasses shrunk, etc.

But even so, please don't confuse fashion accessories with tools, #Thunderbird

Mozilla plans ground-up UI redesign for Thunderbird email client this July

"Why does Thunderbird look so old, and why does it take so long to change?"

^{Ars Technica}

#Thunderbird Product Design manager @alecaddd answers a burning question with some important history, a look into the future, and some real talk.

blog.thunderbird.net/2023/02/t…

Some of these talking points might be divisive. They might touch a nerve. But we believe in being transparent and open about both our past and our future.

Soeben habe ich 20.- CHF sinnvoll ausgegeben; #thunderbird von #mozilla ist auf unsere #Spende angewiesen. Vielleicht kannst ja auch Du mithelfen, dass dieses sinnvolle Projekt in Zukunft weiter existiert:

Just now I spent 20.- CHF wisely; thunderbird by mozilla depends on our #donation. Maybe you can #help to keep this useful project going in the future?

On a personal note, as the person running this account, it's especially awesome to see #Audacity on the list -- that was my first introduction to #FOSS in 2001.

Version 3.0 of #Thunderbird also ditched compatibility for Windows 95, 98, and (🤮)ME.

The organization that developed and produced #Thunderbird 3.0? Mozilla Messaging.

Hope you enjoyed this blast from our past. Let us know if you personally used Thunderbird 3.0 back in the day. #tbt #ThrowbackThursday

(Here are the archived release notes: website-archive.mozilla.org/ww…)

#Thunderbird 3.0 also saw the debut of the Add-ons Manager (but in very, very beta form), letting you extend the functionality and visual look of Thunderbird with themes and new features.

Plus, it introduced tabbed email view, new account setup wizard, and... wait for it... auto-downloading of IMAP folders! 😀

#tbt #ThrowbackThursday #ThunderbirdTimeMachine

Let's hop into the #Thunderbird Time Machine for a look back at Thunderbird 3.0!

Released on December 8, 2009, v3.0 introduced a Migration Assistant to let you easily activate new features (like Smart Folders and a redesigned Toolbar) or stick with the old ones.

#thunderbird is still my preferred mail client in 2023.

Unleashing the Full Potential of Thunderbird: An In-Depth Look at its Features and Capabilities

A few seconds of time here and there can really add up! When you need to send an email NOW, you don't want to backtrack through menus...

So we've added a floating Compose button to K-9 Mail version 6.500 -- available now to test in Beta, on both F-Droid and Google Play.

(Learn how to access the Beta here forum.k9mail.app/t/how-do-i-be…)

#Email #Android #FOSS #K9Mail #Thunderbird #Productivity

Floating compose button in K-9 Mail beta. Behavior is the best of any of these floating buttons that I've seen (I like that we have an extra line when you get to the bottom so it doesn't cover any content).

If you aren't already - follow @k9mail and @thunderbird for more updates!
