I have great news for users of Thunderbird, and it is that, even though Mozilla ha decided to put aside this fabulous project, some improvements are still being added as we can see below.
The issue Australis that we will soon see in Firefox It has already been added to the Mail Manager giving it a more sober and elegant appearance. Additionally, support has been added for Ubuntu One.
Another novelty we had already seen them a while ago, and it is that we can already enjoy messaging in an integrated way in the Mail Manager. We can use our accounts Facebook,Gtalk,Twitter,XMPP y IRC.
In the case of the account Twitter, there are things that they will surely polish later, since the interface is not as intuitive as it should be, and it would be appreciated if it autocompletes the names of our followers and friends.
The rest works very well, and as you can see, all our contacts are integrated into the side panel, highlighting with an icon the protocol or account that you are using.
What do you think of all this? Incredibly the consumption with all open IM accounts does not exceed 110MB at the beginning .. I would have to test them for a while to monitor the RAM.
Interesting for me laptop in which I use Thunderbird is good news and I am only going to have to open thunderbird nothing else, instead here where you see me is open pidgin, turpial and icedove.
thanks for the news and wait for the final version to come out.
Fuck… just when a month or two ago I stopped using Thunderbird… HAHAHA
we were waiting for you to stop using it to put the new improvements: trollface:
I use gmail for all my accounts. I quit thunderbird because with each new version it got heavier.
It is great news without a doubt, I had thought of moving to evolution but that is something else
Wow, this sounds great oo If Icedove receives that update in Testing (which I don't think) it would be good 😛 If not, down the page: /
I doubt it. In Debian, Iceweasel e icedove They go for version 10 and with the freezing of packages, I doubt very, very much, that they include it.
I was already telling you Elav, that on the subject of Thunderbird everything had not yet been said, the news and direct development of Mozilla give up to version 16, from then on it is where you will see how the community is doing, but for what that you read on the mailing lists there is a fairly organized topic and several developers who are already starting to fix bugs and so on. I will continue to support Thunderbir and keep an eye on the lists to see what's new and how you can help.
On the other hand, although at the time it did not seem like the most appropriate feature, it is really useful in business environments and now that my email from the University is through gmail it will be very practical.
Excellent news, I still think that Thunderbird is the easiest and most complete email account manager out there.
thunderbird is great, very easy to configure and very efficient
What I would like them to do is that when they open the program they ask me for a username and password like Pidgin or other instant messaging programs do so that when my mother wants to see her mail she does not see the messages they send me since some are very private and I have to watch my inbox.
Well you can do a couple of things, or set a master password to Thunderbird, or create a different profile for your mother and when starting the program always ask what profile to start with.
@Azzazel: are there pictures !?
I never saw anything uglier and more uncomfortable than Thunderbird 😛
For light and functional mail clients there are Claws (excellent) and Sylpheed, already a little heavier although not much KMail (which I don't really like very much but it comes integrated with the Kontact suite in KDE SC) and already heavier but without a doubt the best mail client + PIM for GNU / Linux, Evolution, Outlook clone if you will - in turn, the best mail client and PIM manager that exists.
For the masochists there is also Pine and Mutt 🙂
Likewise, and as much as I wanted to use the local mail client, I'm very used to the Gmail interface and let's be honest: who doesn't have a browser open all the time nowadays? Although we do not use it, the browser is _always_ open, that's the way it is, having a local client today serves more than anything to make a backup of our email accounts and to be able to read emails when we are not connected ...
¿Thunderbird uglier than Claws Mail y Sylpheed? O_O
WTF !!
I have to take you against! x'D
Hey elav
What GTK theme is that, does it sound like SolusOS? And what about window borders? I need it badly, both things 😉
Hehehe the Gtk theme is Zukitwo-Dark and the same for Xfwm 😀
This version is shown very well, I would like the emails to be organized by groups / people (at least when I stop using it), so the question would be easier.
But overall I find it excellent. +10
Sounds interesting
the file does not come to execute or what is it?
