@Tutanota and here I was happily emailing people on #Thunderbird and making designs on #Penpot and #Inkscape to share via #XMPP, at which point I remembered to catch up on discussions on #Loomio, and got roped into drafting a manifesto on #Cryptpad, all while blissfully unaware of the chaos going on until I opened #Newsflash and read about it all on the #RSS feeds that I synchronise via #NextCloud, at which point I decided to head over to talk about it with the world thanks to #ActivityPub!

Why no option "both" ?

I use webmail for managing and handling day-to-day mail. So all devices can access most recent mail. There's a size cap, which forces me to delete junk regularly.

Then occasional (sometimes once a year) connection to #thunderbird to offload and archive older email.

Is there a way to migrate #Thunderbird email filters to other Thunderbird installs or different email clients?

Hey, #Thunderbird users - for ~1 week, my tbird has been hanging up after I hit "send" - the UI kind of freezes (I sometimes even get the Ubuntu "This app isn't responding, should I force-quit it?" dialog) and then, after 3-5s, the message sends as normal.

I only have one plugin installed (Quicktext) and I've tried disabling it, and that didn't help.

Any ideas?

What's your take on #betterbird? I just found out about it and it looks like it has more fixes than Thunderbird, but I never strayed away from the latter.. 🐦

Is this just happening to me? I have lots of email filters sorting RSS messages into imap folders, with the idea of reading them on my mobile devices.

When the folders turned out empty last night (except for the top level inboxes) my first scare was that Thunderbird had deleted all the messages., but I can still see them on the real Thunderbird on Linux.

I have rebooted my Android devices (Fairphone 5 and Lenovo Tab M11) without success. I have disabled unified inbox too.

Help!

"The centerpiece of the Thunderbird Pro offering is Thundermail, Thunderbird’s first official email hosting service. Built to support IMAP, SMTP, and JMAP protocols from day one, Thundermail will work seamlessly with the Thunderbird client and other standards-based email apps. Notably, the initial infrastructure will be based in Germany, a jurisdiction known for its robust data protection laws under the GDPR framework and a long-standing culture of digital privacy.

Locating Thundermail’s infrastructure in Germany positions the service as a privacy-focused alternative to US-based providers, many of which are subject to surveillance regimes like the CLOUD Act. Users will be able to bring their own custom domain or choose a Thunderbird-provided address with @thundermail.com or @tb.pro suffixes.

Thunderbird describes this move as part of its broader mission to reinforce support for open standards and provide users with a cohesive, privacy-conscious email experience, entirely within its own ecosystem."

Atelier #Thunderbird à #PSESQ avec @vieveca ; quelqu'un sait-il comment activer #IMAP sur un compte #Orange quand la personne n'est pas chez elle (et donc pas connectée via sa Livebox et Orange refuse « pour des raisons de sécurité »)

Edit : le mot important est « activer ». IMAP n'est pas actif par défaut sur un compte mail Orange (et c'est documenté sur assistance.orange.fr). Il faut d'abord l'activer sur son espace client (Web) et c'est là que ça coince.

L’offre de services #Thunderbird Pro se précise avec webmail, invitations et envoi de fichiers - https://next.ink/196350/loffre-de-services-thunderbird-pro-se-precise-avec-webmail-invitations-et-envoi-de-fichiers/

> #Mozilla a précisé la nature de l'offre optionnelle de services Thunderbird Pro, censée prolonger bientôt l'expérience offerte par le client logiciel Thunderbird. Trois fonctionnalités principales sont en cours de développement, toutes en open source : un #webmail, un outil de gestion des rendez-vous et un module d'échange de fichiers.

J'en ai marre de switcher trimestriellement entre #Thunderbird et #Evolution

Le premier est bien plus stable, mais le second est plus pratique, plus joli, et mieux intégré.

J'fais quoi, moi, dans ces conditions ? 🤔
