Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox

20 years ago today, Thunderbird hatched from its shell and spread its wings! To our incredible community of users, contributors, and supporters - thank you for helping us get here. We couldn’t have done it without you. Here’s to 20 more - and beyond!

@thunderbird And I've been using TB since the beginning, since V1!
Thanks for being here!
👍🏼
And thanks for the #Android version!

@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.

@thunderbird is there a way for feature requests / discs? Would love to See shared Labels between desktop and mobil :blobcat_winking:
(To be honest, would be y very first benefit after k9 migration ...)

How will this affect my current K-9 install? Will it replace it or is it considered separate?

@thunderbird @fdroidorg

Is it normal that the icon doesn’t change when I just upgrade from K9 (everything works perfectly well otherwise, and UI is a bit better; thank you!)?

That is good news, happy to find it in the playstore in Germany, even though the beta version appears first depending on the search

The other is the QR code sync between desktop and mobile (thunderbird.topicbox.com/group). Thanks to everyone who has helped beta test and given feedback!

@thunderbird Are there maybe any news on Exchange support or this weird bug?

@thunderbird are there plans to publish on F-Droid as well?

I didn't realize that thunderbird and k9 were developed by the same people.

Se'eS

@thunderbird I only read updates about the Android version. I’m really curious about the status of the iOS version. I read earlier that the development of an iOS version has started in 2023. After that I found no updates or whatsoever.

Nice outlook, nice update!
So, is there any progress on sync between different devices? Like Firefox browser sync.

@thunderbird @alecaddd

Nice!
Account Colors are a good addition for professional contexts.
Can it already be tested in nightly? And if so, are there some options to set in order to enable it?

L'internationalisation c'est compliqué. :D

#IlEstTempsAller

Capture d'écran d'un extrait d'image d'illustration du site, qui est elle-même une capture d'écran de l'interface de Thunderbird, où le titre du message est « Il est temps aller! Thunderbird 115 est là », mauvaise traduction de « It's go time »

Ok, then redesign Thunderbird itself next. :ablobcathappypaws:

@thunderbird @freehive maybe not related, but on the blog, with Firefox Android on Pixel4a, the hamburger menu is outside the viewport

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!

@thunderbird - Working with more than one email address. That includes answering and defining which email address is used for the answer.
- Strategies to work with imap accounts with 10000+ emails, like gmail with acceptable speed.
- Strategies for updating one email account, but not all.

@thunderbird
Difference between IMAP and POP.
As far as I remember, this is the very first decision you have to take when you start from scratch with thunderbird.
And a beginner doesn't necessarily know about this difference.

@thunderbird The first few hours /days with new software is always the fight of finding how to turn off options that are default enabled and the setting that make software good. As example with 115 where threading.
