I still adore this screenshot.

Also, some interesting @thunderbird trivia: In 2004, internet access wasn't nearly as widespread as it is now, so Mozilla offered to send installation CD-ROMs to users for $5.95.

Při zkoušení KDE, vyzkouším KMail, ale zlatý #Evolution a #Thunderbird. Na Kmail si asi nezvyknu. Už jen najít jak přidat účty.


Today's Thunderbird Tip is something you'll want to bookmark if you use Thunderbird with Microsoft hosted accounts. Our Knowledge Base (KB) article on Microsoft OAuth is up to date - and we're staying alert to keep this resource current and helpful. 📖 ✨

So, if #Thunderbird starts to scramble the odd email that it retrieves from gmail - will that affect the emails in in my gmail account if it's synched?
One in a while, the odd email in my TB inbox either appears blank or has a bunch of code/text (whatever) appearing instead of just the email. In one that I know of, the subject heading is from one email and the content is from another (but with pages and pages of jibberish.
If I do a Repair on the Thunderbird inbox, should I disconnect it from gmail?

I had the pleasure to talk at #installfest in #prague today. That was a great experience. I hope my talk about #Thunderbird convinced at least one person to contribute to #Foss. I even met Mitch Altman, who it turns out uses the email client for a long time.


@GigiAmoroso Niestety niczego ciekawego co spełnia moje warunki nie ma. Miałem kolejne podejście do #thunderbird, ale on słabo umie utrzymać wątkowanie wiadomości w momencie ich archiwizowania. Wróciłem do Apple Mail.

Wait, what? OWL is going native? That's wonderful! See my earlier post about OWL plugin not being compatible with the Send Later functionality.

Here's the epilogue to my post: our workplace switched to standard IMAP servers from Microsoft, and I happily stayed with Thunderbird. Thank you #Thunderbird!


It's a planes, trains, and automobiles kind of day for the Team #Thunderbird members heading to #SCaLE21x ! Come see us - aka Jason, Natalie, Heather, and Monica (the latter two sharing their airport pics!) - at Booth 215 . We'd love to chat with you, hear your Thunderbird stories, and share some sticker love. Ryan will be talking all about Thunderbird for Android Saturday at 14:30 in Ballroom C✈️ 🚆 🚗

And in a completely, totally, honestly unrelated question, we've been thinking about the kinds of Easter Eggs you can't eat. What are YOUR favorite hidden surprises? Any media counts! 🐣 😉

Ich habe eine interessante Auflistung von Anleitungen von OpenSource Software gefunden. Sicherlich ist manches spezifisch für die Institution.

Viele Themen sind aber universelles Wissen: #Nextcloud, #RoundCube, #Thunderbird, BigBlueButton, neu für mich @pretix, #Typo3 und #Mattermost


It's not a big leap to say how much work went into Thunderbird for Android/K-9 this February! 🗓️

In the latest update, we talk about the newest stable release and discuss what's next: the journey to Material 3 (and how beta testers can make it as smooth as possible) and Android 14 compatibility. ✨

And as always, you can find the latest community contributions and find out how to get involved! 💪

#Thunderbird #K-9 #Android


Today, out of nowhere, #Thunderbird just decided to delete my inbox then immediately started re-downloading all my emails.

Has this happened to anyone else? Anyone know why this might have happened?

#email #Linux


This is new to me, and would be useful.
But I find that when I select a tag, the message list is empty until I disable the Quick Filter. I can enable it again and still see the messages.
#Thunderbird


I love, love, LOVE my #Thunderbird tags! (especially with the filters I've set up to delete messages after a period of time, eg "Keep for 1 week/month/3 months" then delete unless starred etc).

Can't wait for tags+filters to make their way over to #ThunderbirdMobile / #K9 mail!


It's Thursday, and we've got a Thunderbird two in one tip! If you use tags to organize your emails, today's tips are all about activating and moving tags in the Folder Pane.

1. Click the Folder Pane Menu (three dots on right side of 'New Message') 📁
2. Hover over Folder Modes ➡️
3. Enable Tags ✅

Want to move the tags around? Click on the vertical three-dot Tags menu to shift them up or down.

It's #TuneTuesday and the theme is #IBoughtItFirst - the first single/album you got for yourself. @communiteatime is driving and picking the music, so don't say we didn't warn you. ⚠️

That first album was...Shepherd Moons by Enya. For a 90s teen into Irish and New Age music, what else would it have been? 😅

This was the fav song, and it made it onto an Ireland travel playlist for OSS-EU back in 2022. And now our earworm is yours! What was your first? 🐛

We’re happy to announce the release of K-9 Mail 6.800! The main goal of this version is to make it easier for you to add your email accounts to the app by integrating Thunderbird’s autoconfig feature.

With another item crossed off the list, this brings us one step closer towards Thunderbird for Android! Read the details and how to get it at our blog:

Meanwhile I am migrating my mails to selfhosted mail server, with great help of #thunderbird, since it is really efficient in moving thousands of mails from one place to another.


As promised, our monthly development digest is here! And there are some brief but BIG updates in this one 👀

✅ Thunderbird Sync Update
✅ Taking ownership of the Thunderbird Snap
✅ ThunderCell repo for tracking Rust + Exchange progress

Read Alex’s update here:

#Thunderbird #Development #Exchange #Rust #Snap


Heute seit sehr langer Zeit mal wieder eine Serienmail verschickt. Musste nur feststellen das Pages von Apples Office Suite das nicht mehr kann. Aber Open-Source hat ausgeholfen und für #thunderbird gab es ein Addon 🥳 #ossrocks


We know many of you used the "Manually Sort Folders" Add-on in Thunderbird, and are frustrated that it's not compatible with Thunderbird 115. But we do have a positive takeaway to share:

While the developer has decided to discontinue the Add-on, they are working on a patch to make it part of Thunderbird's core functionality!

As always we'll do our best to keep you posted. Thanks!

If you're a fan of the free open source e-mail software Thunderbird, you might want to follow their official PeerTube account:

➡️ @thunderbird@tilvids.com

(You can also follow their Mastodon account at @thunderbird@mastodon.online)

If you just want to browse their PeerTube videos without following them, you can watch them all at https://tilvids.com/a/thunderbird/videos

Part of me is tempted to use #UBlue to make a custom #Fedora #Silverblue image to add in the Pop_OS Gnome extensions, make #vim the default editor, and #Thunderbird the default mail reader and call it "Blue Bacon Linux"

#Linux


When we heard there was a #TuneTuesday train we had to hop on board!

Today's theme is #SingIt and to share a song whose lyrics mean a lot to you. Not easy to narrow down, but we'll try!

Vienna Teng's "Level Up" is a great anthem about embracing humanity and helping each other in the face of what's often an overwhelming world.

So, what's your anthem, the song you feel down to your bones? We'd love to know and sing along!

🦀 Thunderbird Making Progress With Adopting Rust Code
— Phoronix

"Thunderbird developers have been using Rust for overhauling the mail client's Microsoft Exchange support. Rust is proving useful for replacing a lot of old, unmaintained code within Thunderbird. The hope is that with the Rust transition they'll be replacing a lot of old and delicate code paths and improving the overall architecture."

Every month our mobile developers (cketti and Wolf) write a detailed progress report showing what's been completed on our journey from K-9 Mail to Thunderbird for Android.

In January most of our work went into polishing the user interface and user experience of the new and improved account setup. However, there was still one feature missing that we really wanted to get in there...

#Thunderbird #Android #Development


There's some alert about privacy that comes up whenever I go over certain emails in #Thunderbird, and as I'm using it today for the first time, I'd be grateful for any help getting rid of the thing. I hear about 0.005 seconds of what the email actually is before #NVDA alerts me to... Whatever that is. Irritating doesn't begin to cover it.


Messages like that drive me to keep sharing my knowledge with people in the #Thunderbird support system.


If Thunderbird was a cake, then its Add-ons would be the amazingly delicious frosting on top! Join the Thunderbird Team on February 22 at 18:00 UTC as we chat with Sr. Software Engineer John Bieling about Add-on development and how you can help out!

Always nice when the security bug you encountered while migrating to a new #thunderbird hasn't been fixed since it was opened 3 years ago... 🤦‍♂️
