Thunderbird

I received two emails late last night from a user of my extension.
The first read, in total, "WHY AM I GETTING HUNDREDS OF NOTICES!!!!"
The second, a bit later, read (again, this is the entire message), "JEZUS FUCKINNG CHRIST THE MESSAGES"

My response:

Hello,

I would be happy to help you solve whatever problem you are having, but for me to be able to do that you're going to need to be more specific. You haven't told me anything about what notices/messages you're talking about, so I can't possibly determine what is causing them or how to make them stop.

@jik Ooooof. You and our add-on developers are awesome and don't deserve this. We hope you got either a useful reply or radio silence.

My biggest complaint about the e-mail app is that it doesn't have a way to automatically send electrical shocks into spammers.

@the_gneech @the_gneech ....we have a cantrip that would be PERFECT for this if there's someone who can somehow put it into a Thunderbird add-on. 🧙 ⚡

I see some people are really disappointed about Debian packaging a stripped-down version of KeePassXC. But hey, I actually wish there was also a minimal @thunderbird package without integrations of IRC or Matrix etc, just with core email functionality.

@triskelion @Conan_Kudo Okay, thanks not only for posting the submission AND for doing it with such an awesome template! (We're sort of a fan of Neal's here!)

Consulta para quienes usan ...
¿Les suele pasar que al responder un email, de los que vienen con formato/html, les queda el color del texto en blanco?

Tengo que seleccionar negro cada vez (si no el texto queda igual que el fondo... de hecho todo el texto citado también queda en blanco....)

@lufertec Hay un artículo de SUMO que trata un problema similar. ¿Ayuda alguna de las sugerencias? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1431042 (via DeepL)

How often do you check your non-personal email (work, school, etc.)? We promise we won't tell your managers/bosses/etc. 😉 📪

@Grey08 So it is. >.>

(Psst! We'll sneak it in before we sign off and, erm, check our email in case our bosses are reading this.)

@thunderbird I used unified folders. They are all checked all the time.

No need for spells, eldritch invocations, or inherent abilities to see Thunderbird's dark side. To enable dark mode in Thunderbird:

Thunderbird (hamburger) Menu > Add-ons and Themes > Themes

Feel free to tell everyone you know about this! Repeatedly. :angery:

skaphle ,

@thunderbird @flo One issue I have with dark reader is that it only changes white to dark after a few milliseconds. So every time I open a new tab (in firefox, not sure about thunderbird) I get flashed with a white screen before it returns to dark. I would appreciate a native solution that starts out with a black or dark grey screen before loading anything else.

thunderbird OP ,
@thunderbird@mastodon.online avatar

@skaphle @flo A lot of Team Thunderbird would definitely welcome a native dark mode that did this. We also wish this was a lot easier but we'll keep everyone updated on any progress.

Uso praticamente da sempre, e negli anni ho donato varie volte

Ma negli ultimi anni devo dire il lavoro che è stato fatto per migliorarlo è senza eguali: merita solo premi ed elogi immensi!

(specialmente l'arrivo di TB sul mobile con )

Per questo ho donato di nuovo oggi una somma maggiore

Chiunque usi Thunderbird e ami il , consideri la possibilità di donare per il progetto e renderlo sempre migliore oltre che

@opensoul Siamo molto grati per il vostro continuo e crescente sostegno! Ci auguriamo che sappiate che queste donazioni hanno reso possibili miglioramenti come lo sviluppo di un'applicazione Android, quindi grazie per tutto ciò che fate! 😊 💙 (via DeepL)

Does anybody know if there’s a way in @thunderbird to filter messages based on the sender text and not the sender email?

markusr ,
@markusr@mastodon.social avatar

@anselmschueler The following configuration works for me (In my example, "automation" is not in the e-mail address, but in the From header as name).

@markusr @anselmschueler Thanks so much for helping out!

Don't mind me, just reading the news while trying to figure out a issue where it doesn't download all the emails...

@DrewNaylor Hey there! If you include some details (email server, operating system, any error notifications, etc.) we can try and help to the best of our ability here!

DrewNaylor OP ,
@DrewNaylor@mastodon.online avatar

@thunderbird I don't know if there even is any problem or if it's just user error because multiple of my own tests on the computer just work fine. Thanks for trying to help, though.

@thunderbird Always great work, Thunderbird Team! 😎 Thunderbird is a great email application that I have been using for more than 10 years. I gladly donate to open-source and privacy-friendly applications that I use to maintain their availability and openness.👍 ❤️

l'occasion de fouiller dans les archives : le premier mail de la francophone qui ne verra le jour que 3 ans plus tard, en 2015-2016, mais c'est un événement pérenne !

@Pyb Nous sommes heureux d'avoir pu vous aider à trouver ce trésor électronique ! Quelle découverte historique !

@thunderbird there is no option to show avatars in the message list, right?

Especially with a lot of messages per day, the messages list is just noise to me. Avatars would be great to reduce cognitive overhead.

thunderbird ,
@thunderbird@mastodon.online avatar

@owzim So sorry for the delay! We're not sure if this will land in the July ESR yet, but the Development Digests will have updates on our progress towards them. We are all really looking forward to them and that noise-reducing effect, like you said!
