As we start producing video guides for Thunderbird beginners, we'd love to see your opinion: what tips or walkthroughs should we include?

Teleport yourself back to your first few months using Thunderbird. What do you wish you would have known about?

Thanks in advance for all your feedback!

At long last, the Thunderbird blog now has a "Share To Mastodon" button!

A hearty round of applause and eternal thanks to @micah, @oopsallnaps, and @devmount for making it happen 💙

Like the legend of the phoenix, we're resurrecting Mozilla Send, an end-to-end encrypted file share service, and bringing it under our wings as Thunderbird Send. In this clip from S1E5 of the ThunderCast, developer Chris Aquino gives us a sneak peek of the new - wait, old - er, reborn project!

Learn how #Thunderbird Send will help you overcome your file upload woes, respect your privacy, safeguard against abuse, and hopefully change your #email experience for the better.

In light of recent ransomware masquerading as Thunderbird, now is an excellent time to review the list of trusted places you can download and install Thunderbird from. @linuxflower walks you through the list for each operating system: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2023/10/ransomware-alert-are-you-using-a-trusted-version-of-thunderbird/

Hey, it doesn't matter how long it takes you to reach the right destination. Only that you eventually arrive 😉

If you're on Windows or macOS and want to upgrade to Thunderbird 115 right now, you don't need to wait for the auto-update.

Just download the installer at https://thunderbird.net, and install it over your existing version. This is effectively a manual upgrade from 102 to 115.

If you're using Linux, well, it gets more complicated... For now, we recommend waiting for your distro's maintainers to send it your way. Or wait for our Flatpak release, which should happen very soon.

Thunderbird 115 "Supernova" launches on Monday, July 10th! It's our first step towards a more modern, more beautiful, and more customizable Thunderbird experience.

We think you're going to love it, and we are endlessly grateful for all of your support throughout the years 💙

Are you using @libreoffice alongside Thunderbird? Let's make them work better together! 💪

Here are some ideas (from YOU), and ways to implement them: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2023/06/community-voice-5-ways-to-make-thunderbird-and-libreoffice-better-together/

Here's a screenshot from the current #Thunderbird 115 beta showing improvements to "Folder Modes." Hello there, Tags!

In the very near future, you'll be able to easily re-order these Folder Modes when this bug ships: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1827257

If you have questions about #Beta or want to share your experience with other testers, join our mailing list here: https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/beta

The official #Thunderbird podcast is now available! Look for it in your favorite #podcast app, or stream it here: https://share.transistor.fm/s/0069fd68

Or, you know, do it PROPERLY and add this #RSS feed to Thunderbird: https://feeds.transistor.fm/thundercast 😉

Here's a very early implementation of #Firefox Sync running in Thunderbird Daily!

The bones are there and the foundation is solid.

Though it may be called something else by the time we launch it in Thunderbird 115 (such as Thunderbird Sync or #Mozilla Sync), it's a feature we're THRILLED about putting in your hands.

In early 2023, #Mozilla will stand up and test a publicly accessible instance in the #Fediverse at Mozilla.Social.

Thunderbird for Android releases next year, and development is moving forward at a promising pace.

Here's an early (but not final) preview of what the Message View will look like: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2022/12/thunderbird-for-android-preview-modern-message-redesign/

#K9Mail #OpenSource #Email #Thunderbird #Android

We never did a proper #introduction, did we? 😲

Hi Fediverse, we're Thunderbird, an #opensource #email client available for free on Linux, macOS and Windows. (And coming next year to Android. FINALLY, right?)

You can use Thunderbird for managing an unlimited number of mail accounts, calendars, newsgroup accounts, and RSS feeds. You can also chat using your @matrix account.

💙 LIKES: Open standards, privacy, freedom, customization.

🚫 DISLIKES: Proprietary code.

Nice to meet you 📩

You're not truly free until you're open source 😉

Most of you are going to appreciate this tattoo!

We absolutely love seeing how helpful the FOSS / Thunderbird community is here on the Fediverse. Unlike every other social platform we're on, you're constantly helping each other with issues.

And we sincerely appreciate that, since it's basically one person handling all the comms.

Rock on, Thunderbird family!

Thunderbird 102 features a Spaces Toolbar for fast access to your Mail, Address Books, Calendars, Tasks, Chat, and more. You can also customize it with the colors YOU want. Here's how. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v-VrxhxxXVUndU
