Is #FacebookChat in #Thunderbird still working, or is this a remnant from when it was using #XMPP for it? I still see the option available, but last time I tried a while ago it was not working and I struggled really hard to remove it.
The Thunderbird story is an epic of countless individual stories, coming together to make something bigger than themselves. We're sharing those stories in a new series, and our first spotlight is on one of our amazing Bugzilla volunteers.
Arthur helps new volunteers document issues, as well as testing bug fixes. Read more at the blog, and find out how to share (or start!) your own Thunderbird story!
@thunderbird I’m holding off beta testing until the Exchange changes are rolled in. I’m very interested to know if we can survive without TbSync, in particular. We are Graoh API users but it might still be somewhat useful for now.
@thunderbird I run beta versions since a couple month's and haven't spotted any issues so far. I now migrated from Win to Linux, but the Flatpack/Flathub beta does not seem to be up to date and thus I can not use the profile I had on Win (which had a newer beta version). Are the flatpacks official, and if so, how comes the Flathub beta version does not match the other beta versions? (I'm on Fedora, so no snap, and even on Ubuntu I wouldn't use snap 😉)
Problem: Thunderbird's calendar loses the ability to update my Google Calendar. I assume this is Google messing with OAuth or Thunderbird specifically to "encourage" direct Google Calendar use.
Solution: Host my own CalDAV server.
This will probably give me two problems (or more).
@VileLasagna Hey, hey, looks like my NAS (a Synology) has a calendar with CalDAV support... since I work from home, I can probably make this work pretty well without opening up anything to the Internet at large.
Thunderbird Tipp: Doppelstrich bei der Signatur entfernen
Thunderbird setzt unter der selbst erstellten E-Mail-Signatur einen Doppelstrich. Diesen Doppelstrich oder auch Separator genannt, werde ich in diesem Artikel dauerhaft entfernen.
I've just tried the new #thunderbird Beta and... wow, I'm completely blown away. It looks amazing, seems to have threading, and is blisteringly fast on my terribly overloaded inboxes. Bravo to the @thunderbird team!
✉️ For the 2nd time I gave #FairEmail a chance, but sorry, no... the setup and settings are so confusing and complex, I am really not able to use it (saying that as a geek is quite surprising, isn't it). #K9mail remains the best free & opensource email client for #AndroidOS. It is the official #Thunderbird app for mobile. Thank you, #Mozilla@thunderbirdhttps://k9mail.app/
✅ Custom Account Colors
✅ Linux System Tray Support
✅ Rust-Enabled Builds
And that's only half of the good news! This month's Thunderbird Development Digest from @alecaddd has some great updates as we step closer to the next ESR.
It’s finally happening?! #Thunderbird is getting native Linux system tray support.
"Enabling Rust builds in Thunderbird also gives us the ability to implement some long awaited features much faster. We’re still testing and cleaning things up, but if you’re adventurous you can check out our GitHub repositories for Linux System Tray and DBus hooks and run them locally.”
One more reason, why I still use #ProtonMail Bridge with #Thunderbird over the ProtonMail app: search. The app claims to be able to search the content, but it already struggles with the sender name. @protonprivacy
@protonprivacy So far I couldn't reproduce it for any other sender. The sender address also contains the search term (info@foo-electronics.tld). Also, searching for the exact e-mail address doesn't make the messages show up either.
Is maybe the search index broken or missing these messages for some reason? Can I reindex all messages?
I'm referring to the desktop app for Mac, but it's the same on iOS and the web app.
@lx If you copy the address from your contacts and search by entering the email address in the search bar, or alternatively, in the 'Sender' field in the additional filters, do you get the expected results?
Can you also make sure that the filter for the search is set to 'All Mail' to see if this makes a difference?
This is not likely to be related to the local search index if you're searching for Sender, rather than email body content.
