It looks nice, however it feels like I am running one more browser, am I wrong here? I really like Thunderbird and that one of options for mail clients if I am on linux, however another electron app is a no-go for me.
I skimmed through the features and was very excited for the dark mode announcement. But that quickly went down the drain when I couldn't find how to force it from the setting, because I'm using i3wm, and there's no "dark mode" per se. The other thing I'm wondering about is how this will integrate with OpenGPG, more specifically if it will allow the use with smartcards. And it looks like it planned ![1] Great work Tea…
GTK_THEME=:dark
GTK_THEME=Arc:darkIt's incredible how slow most of the email clients on the market are. What's even more incredible is that, apart from Outlook, none of the other clients offer a good way of editing tables properly.
But there's also a problem: I now have Thunderbird exactly how I wanted it, but it took a few hours to set it up and it required some technical knowledge: calendar, tasks, Gmail like smart search, multi language corrections. For a normal user, that might be off-putting. However, I think Thunderbird is gaining momentum again and will soon be back to one of the biggest player on the market.
Since I was more than willing to pay for a good solution, I've now redirected that monthly payment to Thunderbird.
Thing that baffles me is that you need to install an extensions to have keyboard shortcuts for moving & copying messages with autocompletion, of course the one I was using broke with the latest release ("Quick folder move"). What's the favorite these days?
Same for Lightning and G Suite calendars, but I guess this will be fixed upstream quickly.

Good luck running a mail client - you know, a program that takes html documents and renders them, because modern email is html - without running a browser. In any case, thunderbird essentialy has a lineage going back all the way to netscape navigator (at least spiritually), so it was doing this way before electron was cool.
But some emails are mainly images with little text, and then I have to export the email.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I've had issues editing email addresses in clients with multiple mails per line. As long as everybody is on your address book it's fine, but if they're not, things tend to get awry. I haven't tried the new Thunderbird, but I am suspicious of this change as well.
How is it any more difficult to edit multiple email addresses in a single box as it is to edit a multi word subject line in a single box?
I've started using Thunderbird again after months of trying literally every other solution on the market. I wanted to switch from Outlook and Gmail to something that is fast, has good keyboard support and a good message editor. It's incredible how slow most of the email clients on the market are.

try set your GTK theme to a dark variant. eg start thunderbird with GTK_THEME= :dark in my case it's GTK_THEME=Arc:dark

Thunderbird is GTK. Does it not work if you configure a dark GTK theme?
