@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?

"If itโ€™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. ๐Ÿ‘

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

@ruedi i believe K9 mail was brought under thunderbird a while ago. Not sure what came from it, but K9 is what to use as an email manager on android.

Sorry, instead of stepping in the #future I keep on mailing like it's 1980 and stick with #mutt. ๐Ÿ˜…

@thunderbird finally with a modernised interface; no more of that 1990โ€™s/early 2000โ€™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... ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

@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 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)

Part of the Thunderbird folder-display UI, demonstrating improperly-transparent column headers

@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: bookofadamz.com/general-user-e #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 donโ€™t mind getting something a bit more in line with what is usual in interface design today too. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

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

Thank you very much!

@thunderbird Looks cool, tho the old one looked great too:

I hope you did not remove the tabs. Did you? They are mighty useful. The main reason I use Thunderbird.

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

@thunderbird congrats ๐ŸŽ‰. Excited for this and great to see the project pushing our new releases
