@thunderbird

@thunderbird I haven't used Thunderbird for two years or so now (due to some technical problens that Thunderbird caused with my e mail accounts after reinstallation). I would really like to give it another try, but I need to be able to import my old profile with all the archived messages and address book and so on. Is it possible to just copy and paste a 2 years old profile and use it? This used to be the standard way to migrate to a new machine, but will it work with several versions skipped?

@thunderbird

"If it’s convenient for you, we recommend installing the Thunderbird Flatpak from Flathub, which is now packaged and maintained by the Thunderbird team."

Fantastic, will switch over to the flatpak :)

@thunderbird
Very cool. Looking forward to trying the new version. 👍

And will there finally be an Android app that actually works?

@thunderbird Cool!

@thunderbird
Sorry, instead of stepping in the #future I keep on mailing like it's 1980 and stick with #mutt. 😅

@thunderbird finally with a modernised interface; no more of that 1990’s/early 2000’s email client look.

I might try this out sometime later.

@thunderbird why is sync coming next year and not now? it looked like you guys had it working, do we really have to wait until the mobile app?

@thunderbird Finally! Oh, I forgot I use Debian... need to wait for the flatpak version to be updated... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@thunderbird Amazing!! I'll try thunderbird out again!

Any ETA or planned ETA for the Thunderbird mobile app? Love the work you guys are doing!

@thunderbird great news! One questions n about tags: are these tags only used on thunderbird or are they also synced / stored at server level?

@thunderbird

Starts checking Flathub every 5 minutes. 😆

@thunderbird Enjoying this! But I think I found a display bug: column headers overlapping message metadata. I'm not sure which bug category to report this under; can you help?

(MacOS Ventura, "auto" Thunderbird theme, if that matters)

@thunderbird I completely forgot about thunderbird. I just used geary as it shipped with pop OS. Will check this out. Following #linux hashtags definitely helps hahaha

@thunderbird Going to be installing this after work! I recently switched back to Thunderbird from Gmail and I've been quite happy with the functionality, and I'm really looking forward to the new UI!

@thunderbird
Dear lord this release looks so good
Im feeling bad about using a custom theme and messing this up

@thunderbird Glad to see you embraced Flatpak and as soon as it's updated I'll be installing and playing around. Any chance you'll be encrypting account credentials/tokens at rest on the device? I could be wrong but I read that they are kept in plain text which would expose them potentially to non-sandboxed local apps...

@thunderbird Congratulations on the big release! Have been a return user after over a decade since the Supernova announcement. Very excited to see what you all have in store as you unveil more enhancements on top of the new foundations.

@thunderbird The unlabeled buttons and hidden menus are going to reduce engagement and usability. This has been shown by every usability study on the subject for decades. See: https://bookofadamz.com/general-user-experience-design-guidance/#labelbuttons #UXdesign

@thunderbird I will just wait until it pops up natively on #NixOS stable, cannot imagine that will take long.

I have no complaints about the current interface, but I don’t mind getting something a bit more in line with what is usual in interface design today too. 👍🏻

I have been a thunderbird user for decades now and I still recommend it to everybody!

Thank you very much!

@thunderbird esgeddit

@thunderbird just please don't become outlook. that's all I ask

@thunderbird this is the happiest day of my year!

@thunderbird congrats 🎉. Excited for this and great to see the project pushing our new releases

@thunderbird will this be coming to #iOS and #android ?
