Nice! A big thanks to the dev team that keeps this project going. Can't wait to see what finds its way into K9 (and the rebrand!).

[-] Churbleyimyam@lemm.ee 31 points 3 months ago

Thanks for reminding me to check my emails.

Also Thunderbird is great. Big thanks to the developers.

Imho the card view redesign was more than needed, thank you!

Big kudos to the thunderbird team, since the supernova announcement they've done a really good job

[-] Hector@lemmy.ca 13 points 3 months ago

The new inbox is a lot easier on the eyes. I'm loving it.

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 4 points 3 months ago

I honestly love the new nested replies in email chains they added to the inbox view a few months ago. It makes a messy inbox so much less messy looking

[-] SeekPie@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yea it looks awesome, another W for the open-source community!

[-] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 11 points 3 months ago

I'm a longtime Thunderbird user and don't get all the changes they make. It's a good functional client. I would rather want to see the parts not neccessary needed for an email client to able to disable, such as Calendar, Tasks and Chat. I use the RSS Reader, so that News REader functionality would be on for me. But can't we disable all the other modules?

This and an first party integrated system tray icon showing number of unread messages would be extremely helpful (and maybe optional notifications). I'm baffled why these things are not builtin, but a Chat?

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 months ago

I would be in favor of having these things as modules you can compile in or leave out.

Addons would not be possible as they probably do too much stuff.

100% on the notifications, tray icons dont matter, but working desktop notifications are a must and it is insane that they dont work.

[-] thingsiplay@beehaw.org 4 points 3 months ago

Well I don't agree on that tray icons wouldn't matter. They are very useful. But either way, it would be good to have the option for these two very basic and important functionality. On the compile flags, that would even be better, as these modules wouldn't be in the final binary / install anymore.

But I would be just happy if we could turn the modules off in the options, so the actual Thunderbird client is less cluttered, less possibilities of bugs affecting me and lighter on resources. Why not get rid of them entirely and make standalone applications? It would free some development resources too, for the core Thunderbird mail client.

Maybe switching to a lighter alternative is a good idea.

The biggest effect would be ditching Firefox ESR and running as a webapp.

[-] cupcakezealot 7 points 3 months ago

i've been on it for a while since i'm on the beta channel but it's such a nice release. the thunderbird does good work and i urge you to do a monthly donation to them.

[-] Montagge@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

Gonna second this! They deserve every penny they get!

[-] daisyKutter@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

Lets test that exchange feature right away!

[-] techMayhem@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Exchange features aren't in yet. They plan to release it in a 128.x version as it wasn't ready for today due to technical reasons.

[-] daisyKutter@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 months ago

The article explains its available as an experimental option tucked away in the options

[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 months ago

Looks very slick, just wished i had the paid version of proton to be able to try it out

[-] FippleStone@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago

I thought Proton Mail's free tier offered third party email client support, it just needed some kind of decryption thingy running in the background?

[-] Blisterexe@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah no the decryption thingy is a feature of the paid plan

[-] sgibson5150@slrpnk.net 4 points 3 months ago

Did they find a way to cram even more stuff into the title bar?

[-] atzanteol@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 months ago

I can't click to raise thunderbird from behind another window without clicking on something "functional" anymore...

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 months ago

Apart from the message filter bar...

[-] sunbeam60@lemmy.one 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

How I wish Firefox forked and ran like this rather than be beholden to the ad money of Google.

[-] electricprism@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

Not to be that guy, but they fixed the IMAP data eating bug in 128 right? Somebody put me at ease please.

[-] fireshell@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

Would break the fingers of the designer who, starting with 115, messed up the layout and removed the ability to keep tabs at the top of the window. Why the hell should I search there? What was the problem with searching in the toolbar?

[-] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 2 points 3 months ago

Looks like it may be time to see if I like Thunderbird over Evolution again. Does it support Exchange sync natively yet?

[-] Cube6392@beehaw.org 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

According to the post, ~~yes~~ not yet

EDIT: I misread

[-] nickiam2@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago

Not yet. It will be integrated in a layer point release

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
