I've been using Thunderbird for years. It works better than MS Outlook, which has a lot of trouble connecting to email servers with my slow internet connection. It's customizable and gets the job done. I also got its calendar integrated with my iPhone's calendar. Yay!
I like the new version 115. Looks nice and works well. I mainly use the mail and RSS functions.
Was working great until about a week ago. Now I cant print any email, it just crashes and says there was no crashdump avail to provide. Please fix it.
giving it another try, a bit clunky setting up RSS, NO full screen mode, can NOT change update time with keyboard, multiple feeds in folder can NOT be separated or moved easily, time sort is all WRONG!
This used to be my go to email client for not only when it came pre-installed, but also when it wasn't. However, lately, I've found that severely causes my systems to hang without any recourse except to do a hard power off of the systems. Needless to say, I've since switched email clients and my systems are much happier now.
what a complete joke, why must it try to do everything (also pretty much the worst option if you care about privacy/encryption - Claws or Mutt win, see EFAIL). mozilla bad grrrr but why is this default for real!
No email client comes even close to Thunderbird features and (mainly) stability.
I have been using this for so many years I remember just how long its been. Since the late 80's or early 90's at least! It's one of the first programs I install on new builds!
Thunderbird is working fine on Linux Mint. But lately (in the last 2 months ish - May though July 2022) it's not being updated and I don't know why. Some serious security related bugs were fixed back at the end fo May and the lastest version in the repo is still 91.9.1. Should be 91.10.0. UPDATE: Version was just updated to 91.11.0 today. Great, thanks!
This is an old version and does not support 2A (2 step auth). Unable to get it to work with outlook and Ive not tried it yet but im guessing with gmail with 2A as well. Please update to the newest version that supports 2A.
En/Brexitania: Is Thunderbird 91 implemented in the package sources? TH 91 can be installed "only" as FlatPack, which is perfectly okay! Nevertheless, I think that here should be warned to TH 78! TH 78 has bugs and is no longer supported. About this Mozilla/developer should actually inform the users in the community! A massive security vulnerability affecting the TB 78.x series has reportedly been actively exploited. However, since upstream support for Thunderbird 78.x has ended, it is obviously unlikely that the bug will ever be fixed. Yes and I suggest adding the TB fork "https://www.betterbird.eu/" to the PPA'a as an alternative? De/EU: Wird Thunderbird 91 in den Paketquellen implementiert? TH 91 kann "nur" als FlatPack installiert werden, was völlig okay ist! Trotzdem denke ich, dass hier zu TH 78 gewarnt werden sollte! TH 78 hat Bugs und wird nicht mehr supportet. Darüber sollte Mozilla/Entwickler eigentlich die User in der Community informieren! Eine massive Sicherheitslücke, die die TB 78.x-Serie betrifft, wurde angeblich aktiv ausgenutzt. Da die Upstream-Unterstützung für Thunderbird 78.x jedoch beendet ist, ist es offensichtlich unwahrscheinlich, dass der Fehler jemals behoben wird. Ja und ich schlage vor den TB-Fork «https://www.betterbird.eu/» als Alternative in die PPA'a einzupflegt?
My machine stalls beause of Bluetooth, not Thunderbird. Used systemctl disable and all is well. But I find Evolution easier to use than Thudnerbird, and I don't need all the extra features. Linux Mint Cinnamon on a mac mini
I've used one from the Linux Mint or Debian source and not one from the Flathub so It's slow on the update side but, I'm ready to sacrifice that for reliability and stability.
