Works for me: I manage email with Proton on my phone and on the web on my computer anyway.

Thunderbird is acquiring Exchange features.

They haven’t turned them on just yet owing to a little last-minute work, but your ability to sync calendars and address books with an ActiveSync/Exchange-compatible eMail server is coming soon.

Does that mean the only official email app will be the one that uploads the passwords to all your email accounts to Microsoft?

Does it matter if everyone stays on windows 10?

you cannot stay on win10 forever though. deadline is approaching

wuphysics87 ,

The majority of regular folks will only ever upgrade when they get a new computer. Most Me Maw’s and Pa Paw’s would sooner let their computers catch fire from being loaded with cat than get a new one. Hell. They are all still using ball mice.

As for me, as long as I have an iso I’ll happily run it in a vm. Indefinitely.

piyuv ,

Ball mice is better than laser mice since you can take out the ball and play with it

wuphysics87 ,

Can’t argue with that. The ones with the big ball on the top are especially good because you can use an 8 ball

I moved to Mozilla Thunderbird long ago www.thunderbird.net/en-US/

Psythik ,

People still use dedicated email clients? Why?

InFerNo ,

It works better for searching, it works offline, catch-all addresses just work with correct from address when replying, backup and archiving, can move mails from box to box without sending.

I also use roundcube, but only to read mails. If I want to reply to a catch-all mail I have to create an alias which is super tedious.

jasonlearst ,

catch-all addresses just work with correct from address when replying

What do you mean by this? I’d like to be able to reply from a [email protected] automatically.

For me Thunderbird makes me create an alias in order to reply to my catch all (*@mydomain.com). Did you have to configure something specifically?

WaterWaiver ,

I click on my “From” address and then select “Customize From Address…”. I can then type anything I want up there. It’s a little annoying when replying to an email chain with an alias, but not too many steps.

InFerNo ,

See my other reply, you can automate this with a setting so you don’t have to edit it manually every time.

InFerNo ,

This is built into Thunderbird for a while now.

  1. Go to Account Settings
  2. Enable Reply from this identity when delivery headers match
  3. Enter your domain prefixed by a wildcard (*), for example *@yourdomain.com
  4. Close/confirm all your changes
  5. Open an email that was sent to one of your catch-all addresses and click the reply button.
  6. The FROM field should be the catch-all address and not your general address.

I have email addresses under Outlook (old personal account), Gmail (study provided email), Exchange (work) and Proton (main personal account). I also actively use the calendar feature in my client, which is sync’d up to my Nextcloud instance.

Just having it all under Thunderbird is so convenient and it feels more private. It’s also an entirely consistent UI between accounts

kindenough ,

Good riddance.

I absolutely dislike Outlook desktop, don't trust it either. Used Thunderbird back in the day, but switched to emailing on tablets or phone + TrueNas for desktop files.

FairEmail Pro on tablet is all I need for email. It is open source and imo simplest to use. It's free and the pro version set me back 7€ or so.

If anyone’s in this thread because they’re looking for a new mail client after Microsoft killed the old Mail app, and haven’t been happy with the typical suggestions of using each email service’s web interface or Thunderbird, I found I don’t hate Mailspring (with the fancy features disabled - I just want my email client to do email well and don’t want extras that provide clutter).

The new outlook is utter garbage. It was in fact so bad that I uninstalled it and now use it through the web front-end only. And I’m doing that in Edge - as the only website this browser is allowed to open (asides from Teams, where the software is just as terrible).

If they call it a success that no more people are complaining because they just gave up, then, congrats… I guess?

aStonedSanta ,

Oh. This sounds like a good idea lol is the search a lot faster?

viking ,
@viking@infosec.pub avatar

Not amazingly fast, but still quite a bit better indeed. Give it a try, to don’t need to uninstall outlook to do that after all.

The good part: two garbage apps will be gone from windows 😂

EddoWagt ,

Replaced with one god awful one. I actually liked the calendar application, does all I need it to do. But no, I can’t have just a calendar application anymore according to Microsoft

InFerNo ,

Mozilla used to have Sunbird, until they also rolled it into Thunderbird. Standalone calendars aren’t popular anymore, but in sure there’s some around.

I understand the mail integration, as appointments can be processed directly.

pyre ,

oh no, please let me use those shitty apps that you keep pestering me to use and i say fuck off every time, please!

[meme] Oh no! Anyway… [/meme]

Mio ,

I actually like that app. But can’t use it reliable now since they gave it up. Welcome EMClient and Thunderbird.

xavier666 ,

What do you want me to do, Microsoft? Install Linux twice?

tourist ,
@tourist@lemmy.world avatar

You can do that

I recommend it, even if you don’t need it, bc it fun

xavier666 ,

Oh yes! I have done it. A bunch of Linux VMs using Ovirt running on top of CentOS just to test some kernel changes.

0xtero ,

Threatening us with good times? I think I’ll stick to Mutt.
