Wofür soll das Tray-Icon von #Thunderbird denn sein, also ernsthaft, denn ich finde keine Funktion. Man kann nur per Kontextmenü die Anwendung beenden, aber weder ins Tray minimieren, noch nen Zähler anzeigen lassen. Das kann ~nichts~.

I've been using #KMail for years, but as part of the larger #Kontact app (which gives you Outlook like functionality (contacts, calendar & more)). The interface has not changed over the years.
The idea of identities been different to the accounts allows you to (for example) separate work and personal. For example with each identity you can set up a different signature, and which email address / SMTP server it uses. However the setup for this does need work and is initially confusing for new users.
Note I recently tried #Thunderbird and hated it - I use keyboard short-cuts and TB's were browser-based and not email based (eg CTRL-R / CTRL-U for mark read / unread). I found no way of changing them while being #KDE, that is always an option in #Kmail.
So it's basically #Thunderbird with AI then.
Nope, #Mozilla. Nope.

I used Evolution full-time for a number of years.
Not sure why I switched to #Thunderbird, other than it's just gotten a lot better in the past few years, and the fact that I can make it respect my window management preferences, unlike GTK programs.
Man, when did GTK get so... so... flippin' IDEOLOGICAL?
You're a piece of software! Get over yourself!
Sorry. XD
Mozilla will soon unveil a new set of "professional" services designed to enhance the basic email management features of its free, open-source email client, Thunderbird.

Just curious, does anybody use #KDE #Kmail?
I'm just toying around with the idea of switching my work machine from Debian to KDE Neon to get super-up-to-date KDE programs, and I wonder how usable KMail would be as an alternative to #Thunderbird (which I still really like).
What value do you guys see in regard to using an email client like #Thunderbird vs using a webmail client like #Fastmail via a browser tab?
My requirements are super basic. I mostly receive email and occasionally send some. I don't have any sort of complex organization structure. I don't send or receive encrypted email.
Is there some feature that I'm thinking about?
The bird is out of the bag! We're introducing Thunderbird Pro (you already know Appointment!), a set of productivity AND privacy boosting services. And that includes...*drum roll*...an email service we're calling Thundermail. Find all the info in this excellent article:
Finally! Mozilla Thunderbird challenges Gmail with its own email service. And that's just the beginning...

Woke this morning with an email from #Scotia bank about my account. I don't have a Scotia account.
Usually, I ignore these as phishing, but I have a #Thunderbird add-on that tells me when SPF and DKIM pass. And the "from" domain was truly scotia bank. So, yes, it did come from them.
Spent 30 minutes on the phone bouncing around, queuing and waiting while they checked. Their conclusion is that their customer carelessly entered my email address instead of their own, and they will contact the customer.
Two things.
Email addresses should always be validated with an OTP. When will banks learn this?
Second: Some people are a pain in the ass.
I already have a copy of #Thunderbird synchronised to my #Gmail account via IMAP. I'll need to investigate how I could get the mail, contacts and diary appointments from there into #Tuta. Thanks for the idea!
Hm, mir ist in Thunderbird ein RSS-Feed kaputt gegangen. Also er hat einfach nicht mehr aktualisiert. Jetzt habe ich diesen Feed gelöscht und möchte ihn neu hinzufügen. Aber Thunderbird sagt, ich hätte bereits einen Feed mit dieser Adresse. Any Ideas, wie ich das bereinigt bekomme, ohne mein Profil komplett neu anzulegen? 
Email-Client #Thunderbird nutze ich schon lange, auch auf meinem #Windows -Rechner anstatt #Outlook, aber bisher eben nur als Client.
Bin mal gespannt was da noch kommt.

#Mozilla geht in die Offensive: #Thunderbird plant eigenen E-Mail-Dienst und Pro-Features als Alternative zu geschlossenen Ökosystemen. Fokus auf Datenschutz und offene Standards. https://winfuture.de/news,149985.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
This morning I installed https://www.betterbird.eu and while its still syncing my 25000 messages I sent a test message to myself, and no hang.
I only have my business account installed, but so far, so good.
Next step is to see if it starts to hang after I set up my personal accounts.
@KuMiKoe Laut einem #thunderbird Entwickler (https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/thunderbird-for-iphone-and-ipad/idc-p/89039/highlight/true#M47497) vom 05.03.2025 werden momentan noch Entwickler gesucht und das Feature ist realistisch als "Planned" eingestuft. Ich bezweifle, dass sich bisher was getan hat.
Ich brauche mal #Followerpower :
Kann man #thunderbird auf dem #ipad installieren? Die Mails werden ja auf dem Endgerät gespeichert, oder? Bitte keine "wechsel doch zu xyz- Vorschläge" Meine Frau (Lehrerin) hat von der Stadt Düsseldorf ein iPad als Endgerät bekommen, die städtische Mail-Adresse abgeschaltet, und es gab die Anweisung Thunderbird zu installieren.
Wir sehen nicht ein, das private #android Smartphone mit Arbeitsmails zuzuspammen, vom #Datenschutz ganz zu schweigen
