    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!).

    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

    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?

      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.

        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.

      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

      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?

    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?

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

      Once your concussion goes away, you should rewrite this.

        Lol. If you replace “with” with “wish” it should make more sense.

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

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.
