Thunderbird

Anyone know where the setting is to do this? I prefer having the message preview next to the inbox list (as shown on the website, see the picture), but the default appears to have it along the bottom of the screen. Thanks

Hi,

I am sorry for the stupid question, but I am having problems to find a mail I deleted and I wonder if the "delete" key will archive them as with gmail (and most clients nowadays) or it will actually remove it.
I am pretty new to thunderbird, I started to use it after supernova, so I am not very used to it.

Thanks in advance

Well this is an interesting proposal

Maybe this is just a me problem, and I can't find the settings. Or maybe these are things they changed in 115 and made it worse?

Collapsing threads. If I collapse everything thread, click to a different folder and then click back, every thread is expanded. I would vastly prefer "every thread is collapsed", or "we remember where things were". I never even noticed what it was on 102, but it wasn't "always expand everything"

Tab bar positioning. In 102 (and I could swear in some 115 screenshots Ive seen) the tab bar was at the very top. In 115, the tab bar is below the "Get Messages, Write, Address Book, etc" + search toolbar. The old way was so much better. It feels weird to have things ABOVE the tab bar change when i select a tab. thats the point of tabs, things are supposed to be contained "within" the tab.

Both of these are from their own documentation:

Old good:

New busted:

Are there settings for either of these changes, or is 115 just a downgrade for me and I should stick to 102?

I'm on Ubuntu 20.02, and have the older 102 version of Thunderbird installed from the http://ppa.launchpad.net/mozillateam/ppa/ubuntu ppa.

I wanted to install the new "supernova" – but not from snap or flatpack – so I downloaded the linux tarball from https://www.thunderbird.net/en-GB/thunderbird/all/ and followed the installation instructions.

As far as I can see I have all required libraries, but when I launch thunderbird it complains that

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /opt/thunderbird/libxul.so:
libXtst.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.

I can't find any libXtst on apt, but I do have the latest libxtst6. So I don't understand the problem.

Anyone else has this problem and maybe a solution? Cheers!

Edit: I see that it's available on the beta ppa, but that's only for Ubuntu 22.02+. Probably I just have to wait until it's available in the stable ppa too...

I can't seem to make Thunderbird (supernova, flatpak) work with mailto links from my browser. The system handler correctly launches Thunderbird, but then, after a short wait time, a dialogue appears:

"Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To use Thunderbird, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, restart your device, or use a different profile."

If I do close down Thunderbird, then it works. But I'd expect to be able to have Thunderbird running.

Any ideas what's wrong here?

Does anybody have any insight on why the Thunderbird Flathub app seems to be unavailable? Even before that, we were still waiting on the Supernova update..

It's been over a month since the last beta build. No blog posts either. Things just seem to have stalled... But they actually haven't, there's commits happening in the repo. What's going on?

Would someone please tell me how to install the new Thunderbird version on Manjaro?

Thanks!

It seems to me like that this is the most efficient way to read mails: to actually have the mails at the center of the screen in vertical view, not at any side, bottom or top.

Either option is fine with me:

1. Folders | e-mail | Inbox
2. Inbox | e-mail | Folders

Does anyone know if work has started on it? I've not seen any commits.

I use gmail but I'm looking to find another free provider to move. I've considered proton or tutonota but neither seem to support thunderbird without payment.

Thanks for creating this community. And fuck reddit!
