Seems a lot of people are still using the "Provider for Google Calendar" plugin, when Google Calendar works fine without it. Just add a calendar on the network, type your google username, then the password, and select what calendars you want to subscribe. This assumes you have set the calendars to be accessible, that is another topic, do a search and you will find the instructions.

My question is, what is the use case for this popular extension? Has it become redundant and people just don't know about it? Why does it continue to be available?

Also, just going to state it here, I am in the progress of degoogling, but still need to use a couple google calendars until I'm done! I can recommend self hosted NextCloud.

I wonder if they go well with writing emails in Thunderbird.

Not related to the Thunderbird mail project or MZLA. Also cost a fortune unfortunately.

Certain images often appear in a weird photo-negative form or, as is the case in the following image, simply a very dark form, when the reader is set to 'dark message mode'. Is there a way to prevent this?

Dark Mode Enabled

Dark Mode Disabled

When I receive an email from a friend which has an image displayed inline, this darkening effect doesn't occur. Only seems to be the images in confirmation emails from shops like Amazon, i.e. ones that aren't attached to the email/stored locally.

Thank you!

I have a filter that moves certain incoming emails to the Archives folder. But it just places them in the root folder, and doesn't sort them into their respective YYYY subfolders the way it does when you use the Archive button on a message. Is it possible to have Thunderbird do the 'proper' archiving via a message filter?

Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone,

I’m a happy Thunderbird user but I miss one feature.

Is there a way to have emails organized a bit like a Whatsapp/Signal conversation?

What I mean is that I would want to have the conversations sorted by the person you’re interacting with, no matter the topic and being able to just scroll up and down a conversation.

I have a lot of back and forth between my ex, her lawyer and mine and this feature would make things way easier if it exists.

Right now my conversations are already grouped under one discussion, but I still have to go to the sent emails to check what I’ve answered in the past..

I have several mailing accounts configured on Thunderbird, two of which no longer exist (from institutions of which I'm no longer a member). I don't wish to delete these, as they can still come handy when finding old messages or adresses of old contacts. I just edited the settings to stop fetching messages, but I still get notifications saying Thunderbird failed to connect to the server. It's a very minor inconvenience, but I'd rather Thunderbird not waste ressources trying to connect to them every time.

So, how's the standard way to deal with accounts that no longer exist but of which you'd rather keep the already existing mails and data?

i wonder for the reason to have to two large whitespaces for two tool bars when all of it easily could be one. will there be more icons in that first toolbar in the near future? or will there a more menues in the second toolbar anytime soon? or is it adspace?
