Re: Thunderbird 140 “Eclipse”
#2I’ve been using Thunderbird more and more over the past few months. I’m glad it’s finally getting some decent attention. I’m especially curious about the new account management in 140. I couldn’t add my iCloud calendar easily before, hope this rectifies it.
If you haven’t given Thunderbird a shot yet, you should.

#3There is no mention of sync functionality. I regularly use 3 different PCs and I cannot sync settings easily. It means I've give up using Thunderbird on all but one of the PCs.
They've also made the usability worse in recent versions and are copying the insanely annoying context menus in Windows 11, which cannot be reverted.

Sync? Just connect to your accounts on each machine? Or are you using POP3 and want that to sync?

I guess they mean that they want their accounts to be synced (setup is annoying tbh), but also things like signatures and so on.
I normally just manage it myself and I'm extremely happy to do so, as I consider it like my dotfiles, but I understand where the parent is coming from - settings sync is becoming common. (Chrome is a good example).

#7Since some months somehow the windows are weirdly aligned inside Thunderbird, like the attachment bar is cut off at the bottom.
I might be connected to my Awesome WM but I haven't changed anything on this side.
Anyone else noticed something?

#8I love that Thunderbird is moving forward.
That said:
I tried to add a new mail account to Thunderbird after upgrading to version 140. Unfortunately, it shows an error message after merely asking for my name and my email address and then hangs in an endless animation.

All I need out of it is a slightly sensible file based config scheme. Syncthing will do the rest.

Also gave up Thunderbird years ago because of the same reason. Just wanted something stable and chose Spark. Works on every device, not a problem for years.
