Everyone inside Thunderbird really cares about the people, the ethical and freedom aspects of what we do.
The work is hard and sometimes stress takes over the best of us, but we really built a team of kind and honest people.
What a refreshing environment!

Thunderbird for Android / K-9 Mail: March 2024 Progress Report
It was a busy month! Here's our monthly progress report detailing our work to transform K-9 Mail into Thunderbird for Android.cketti (The Thunderbird Blog)

When I am leaving my office I am often closing some 15 browser windows, some 10 terminal windows, about 5 different files open in the text editor.
Most used apps on my desktop include #Firefox #Thunderbird file manager (pcmanfm or nautilus), Gedit, VLC media player, electron based apps such as teamsforlinux, losslesscut and gnome-terminal.
Next I'm using @LibreOffice, I am also using #Emacs with #speechd-el a little and finally some other less frequently used apps.
As for the #TTS or the #audio setup I am using #RHVoice, speech-dispatcher and @PipeWire Project .
Finally with @Matt Campbell and @Lukáš Tyrychtr we do have tallented visually disabled developers dogfooding or partially dog fooding so let me finish this post by saying it really is gold era of a linux #a11y and we are looking forward for what it brings us in the future.
We're often asked "When can I use Thunderbird in my browser?" It's a logical question! After all, Thunderbird was built on top of Firefox technologies, right?
Let's have a quick chat about it:

Thunderbird In Your Browser: Will It EVER Happen?
Thunderbird was built on top of Firefox browser technology, right? So could there ever be a webmail view of Thunderbird? We hear this question a lot, so let's talk about it! 🔗 NEED SUPPORT? Thunderbird Community Support: https://mzla.TILvids
🕘 December 2009: Maybe you were upgrading your computer to the new Windows 7, or checking out Ubuntu 9.10. Perhaps you were pouring all your free time into Valve’s ridiculously fun survival shooter Left 4 Dead 2. And maybe, just maybe, you were eagerly anticipating installing Thunderbird 3.0…
Step back into the Thunderbird Time Machine as Jason looks at what made this such a landmark release!

Thunderbird Time Machine: Was Thunderbird 3.0 Worth The Wait?
After a 2-year development cycle, Thunderbird 3.0 finally released late 2009 with a bunch of new feature milestones. Was it worth the wait?Jason Evangelho (The Thunderbird Blog)

Thunderbird for Android: Should You Upgrade From K-9 Mail?
When Thunderbird for Android is ready for release, how will you upgrade from K-9 Mail? Will you even need to? Will both apps co-exist? Where does Mozilla Sync fit in? Alex answers a lot of burning questions about our Android plans.TILvids
What email client are people using on desktop these days? Is #Thunderbird still the go? My MS Office subscription gives me access to Outlook but it's terrible for personal use (arguably it's terrible for any use, but it's annoying enough that I don't want to use it even though I'm already paying for it).
I was going to make a joke here about going back to Lotus Notes, but it looks like IBM sold it back in 2019, so it wouldn't even feel nostalgic.
Boosts welcome.

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.

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?

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