I’ve been using Thunderbird as my daily driver for a while now.
- Great automation and filtering. -10$/year add-on for a complete MS suite interop for work.
- Customized the theming.
- Tracker blocking.
- Calendars
- First class Linux support
It’s just as good as every other email client but without them reading it. :)
Can you elaborate more on the add-on, what’s it called? I just started using Thunderbird again but at the moment only for my personal addresses.
Probably referring to OWL plugin. However your admins can allow IMAP access to outlook365 and with tbsync, you get full integration for free. OWL is good tho too
I am my own admin, running my small business so I am user/admin/spam receiver :). I might stick with Outlook for business for the moment. Don’t want to mess around. For private use, Thunderbird is chef’s kiss .
OWL is good, I use it, but its calendaring leaves a lot to be desired. :/
For those using tbsync with TB, and any companion extension, like its provided for exchange (office 365 and the like), TB broke tbsync and its companion extensions… That said, there’s an issue, and apparently some developer releases for those wanting to try…
It’s been several times TB breaks extensions with such changes. TB devs don’t have to care, but that means for the users, to be extra careful, and to avoid upgrading until finding out required extensions have caught up…
Not going to install flatpak tb, gimme the full version on my package manager…
I’ll stick with Mutt.
look at me, I like being a contrarian outcast
Your meds pal, take them
I totally agree being a contrarian outcast, but not because of what I commented earlier. Why would I use flatpak thunderbird when there is version in my repos which just needs to be updated?
BC it’s easier for the any dev to package their program for flatpaks assuring it’ll work in all distributions, otherwise you have to wait for your package manager maintainer to repackage the program for your system. Which is what happens for Arch, debian, Suse, Fedora.
It’s not Thunderbird/program responsibility if they decided to make flatpaks the main source of distribution yet you decide to install it through other means. Which idk if they did but more devs are opting to distribute through flatpaks.
Still no reason to use the flatpak if a repo packet exists.
Eek! I hold judgment on the new interface… it’s a bit… flat and colourless. Anyway, thank you Thunderbird team for keeping it alive and well all these years. It has served me well and never lost a single message, unlike some other mail clients I could mention but won’t.
There are themes for the colorless. I personally help with a donation every now and then.
finally
My thoughts exactly. Been checking daily.
For some reason it doesn’t start on arch linux with sway
flatpak mask org.mozilla.Thunderbirduntil the “hide title bar” flag works again. I’m not losing two lines of display space to eye candy.i though mozilla abandonned thunderbird and it became community driven?
