@thunderbird congrats, I just wish the snap version wasn't so inestable in Ubuntu (24.04) . I've installed thrice, then get access permission issues, and eventually got rid of it, and used #Evolution email suite...

@thunderbird can we donate directly to you or does everyone still have to go through the mozilla corporation?

@thunderbird @DavidGoldfield Been using Thunderbird for the majority of the 20 years Prior to that, I think it was communicator. From Netscape.

Mhm. It took 20 years to devolve into soy UI, dump official distribution through apt (becoming the only reason to keep snapd on Ubuntu) and start shitting in user's downloads folder with temporary files.
This is not Thunderbird which I used to know and love.
At least teach it to delete its tmp folder in ~/Downloads on closure or something. It behaves like geezer which still tries to hit on female teenagers while shitting himself otherwise.

@thunderbird please add an annual donation option.

@thunderbird Congratulations from a long-term user! I am using Thunderbird already for more than 20 years, already when it was the mail module of Netscape Communicator.

@thunderbird I remember when I first tried Thunderbird back in the 2000's as a teenager. I couldn't figure out how to use it at all.

Then a decade later I gave it another go alongside my return to Firefox, and maybe I got smarter or something, because it was really no trouble at all.

I think Thunderbird is great software, and I donate because I love using it. The transformation of K-9 to Thunderbird Android has been well done. Thank you to everyone who works on Thunderbird.
