💬 WECHSEL von #K9mail auf @thunderbird

UPDATE:
Es ist total easy. Die Daten müssen nicht vorher von K9 Mail exportiert werden

#Thunderbird installieren und dann den Weg gehen, wie in den Screenshots zu sehen. Das auswählen, was aus #K9mail importiert werden soll - fertig 👌

Thunderbird liest die Daten direkt aus K9 Mail aus


@thunderbird bug?
a team of people manages eg. team@domain #email .
they all use #thunderbird (on #linux) .
drafts stored by some team member, and then sent by another team member, doesn't show thread as replied..

sounds like a known bug? or something else to look into?


Back-to-school seasoning may be winding down, but Thunderbird is seeing where we make the grade (and don’t) with accessibility. Learn about our recent a11y study and find how to help us make Thunderbird accessible to everyone!

Hey #thunderbird users, how do I set the default calendar when creating new events? I don’t find an option for that and internet search sadly didn’t help either





My pet peeve in @thunderbird: I often want to save attachments, but then also look at them. I’d love to have an accessible way to open the attachment I just saved, like in #Firefox’s download menu or the popup Element offers. Currently, I need to navigate the whole path twice, once in #Thunderbird’s save dialog, and then again in my file manager.


#tfw you discover a bug in @thunderbird beta which is impacting you on the regular, and you go to file a bug report about it, and you put a substantial amount of time into testing the bug in various contexts to ensure you are providing useful information for the developers, and then the last thing you do is attempt to bisect the bug with #mozregression, and you discover that it's been fixed in the current nightly build but the fix hasn't been uplifted to beta yet. *sigh*

For this month's Office Hours, we're talking to members of our Design Team about how we're assessing and improving Accessibility in Thunderbird. We'd love to bring them your questions! Please leave them in a comment to this post and we'll do our best to answer as many as we can in the recording and blog post!

As if I didn't already know it, #Microsoft customer support has proven to be useless. I requested an export of my #Outlook (.com, not the desktop app) email account over a week ago. The page said it'll take up to four days. I contact support and they tell me that exporting online isn't supported. Why offer it then‽

So I downloaded #Thunderbird, connected to my account and have synced my inbox. Currently exporting it using an add-on.

Next job after that is to import it to my new @Tutanota inbox, then cancel my Outlook subscription.


In my laptop #Thunderbird, I have logged in my email accounts. I want to export them to my Android phone. The export QR is not getting scanned by the Thunderbird app (downloaded from F-Droid).

Is anyone else encountering this issue? Can I export using a file rather than QR code?

Dear @thunderbird people ... when viewing my email, I want to be able to hover over a link (1) to figure out if it's obviously dodgy .... please can you make the real url appear in a large font - perhaps as an on hover bubble or something - rather than putting it in small text in the bottom of the window (2) where various other status updates go (and overwrite it), making it hard to see.

The latest version of Thunderbird for Android has a contrast issue: the difference in colour between read and unread messages is too small. Even with healthy eyes, it's hardly noticeable.

Our community team has a new video series! "Contributing to Thunderbird" breaks down the barriers to developing, testing, translating, and supporting Thunderbird on desktop and mobile. Our first videos help you build a Thunderbird development environment on your Mac and Linux (specifically Ubuntu) machines, with a Windows video in the works:

Our Community Office Hours is back, and this month we've taken a deep dive into our latest yearly Extended Support Release, Thunderbird 140.0 ESR "Eclipse." We're talking with our Sr. Manager of Desktop Engineering (and introducing our new Manager of Community Programs) and talking about its new features, what didn't make the cut, and why you should give our new Monthly Release a try.

I really wish the latest @thunderbird release would find its way to Flathub. Anyone have any news on when this might happen?

#flathub #thunderbird


Welp, the latest @thunderbird update has broken my ability to send work emails (and yes, it's definitely the update that's caused it not anything else - on my work inbox it's giving timeouts on all emails since the update, and I checked by updating it on another computer which triggered the exact same bug).

So I hope they fix that soon or I'll have to find another email client which would be a pain :(

@thunderbird Will you integrate a reasonably usable editor at some point? Or is it possible to install an alternative editor in Thunderbird? I've been loyal to you for over 15 years, but the editor just drives me crazy. #Thunderbird

It's OK for me. Works fine.
Installation with QR code is perfect :)

Ok, #Thunderbird and #NVDA are having issues again. Updated to 139.0.2 and now when I delete an email the focus doesn't go to another email on the list view. There are also significant problems with the chat interface getting stuck and making NVDA hang.


Recognition of tracking links in #thunderbird is a fantastic feature.
