The IETF recently finalized a new, awesome standard for storing contacts. It’s called JSContact, and it is specified in RFC 9553. It would be great if Thunderbird supported it, or even better, made it its default! Furthermore, RFC 9554 standardizes how to convert from and to VCard.

Neither table view or cards view is the best option in my opinion. Table view is far too much information on one line, while card view on 3 lines wastes a lot of blank space if you don't use threaded view (the third line only has the star if threaded is turned off. I like the "field chooser" of table view but great separation between emails in cards view. A third option would be a blend. A two line version of table view with subject line positioned below the sender. Users could then still choose which fields to include, but you'd also get some of the cards view feel as well. ...

I know we have a folder for spam, but there is nothing we can do when we are threatened by a hacker or receive an email with some kind of scam. I wish I could do something. My suggestion is that you create a tool integrated into Thunderbird so that we can report these crimes. It needs to be something simple, just a click away. Thank you! (ps.: If you already have this mechanism, I apologize for my lack of knowledge and ask that you tell me how to proceed) ... View more

The actual limit per folder is 1.000, but I have folders with nearly 10.000 mails. So aqua mail is the only known app usable. For professional use as nearly the same like desktop application, the actual android app must be opened to 10.000 mails or better no unlimited. There is a main page in aqua mail with all (in my case 2) mail accounts and the choosen 20 folders. Small letters, so no scrolling neccessary. I didn't look further for Thunderbird on Android due to the lack of loading a useful amount of messages per folder. ... View more

I'm using tasks (ToDo's) quite a lot for different purposes and reminders. To have a better view, I use categories (with colours) for different task areas. Some examples for categories: personal, shopping, holiday, authorities, finance, healthiness, contracts and so on... Has Thunderbird Tasks the possibility to group tasks by category? As result, the view of all of the task's could look like this: a) grouped by category b) sorted by priority(first) c) sorted by date (second) {this could be beginning or finishing date} Category "Holiday" - Task 1 - Task 2 Category "Personal" - Task 4 - Task 5 The "Grouping by" view helps to navigate more comfortable in large lists. As additional feature it would be helpful to collapse or expand a category and the tasks beneath. Annotation: I moved from Windows/Outlook to Linux/Thunderbird: I found the usability from Outlook very helpful to manage data (emails, tasks, contacts, personalized views). ... View more

It would be geat i I could change the character size in the calendar function without changing it global. Reason: its practical to have the calendar function open all the time, but its too large. If I could make the character size smaler everybody could layout its own design. Thanks in advance Rainer Kuhn ... View more

Right now, multi day calendar entries show up per day. This results in the context of a full calendar with many events, in a cluttered view since multi day events are hopping up and down from day to day with repetitive text. If the calendar events would be connected and the text would be shown just once per line, it would be much cleaner. I know it from other web implementations (for example vuetify calendar component) I think both strategies have ups and downs, but in my opinion, my suggestion would make the monthly calendar much more readable. ...

Thunderbird # already has a great support for VTODO VCALENDAR and contacts. What is missing though is support for VJOURNAL entries. Journals are close to calendar entries. A great vesoverview gives jtx Additionally they introduce "notes" which are simply journals without a date. The open source calDAV and cardDAV is a great way to share information between groups and family. Journals and notes would complete this sharing nicely. ... View more

Hello, I was very surprised that Thunderbird does not offer an option to show the e-mail-adress of the sender in a column in the table (like the columns "From" and "Correspondents"). This new column would be very useful to quickly identify spam/junk e-mails. This feature can be added with add-ons:  "Show Address Only" by R.I.P. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/show-address-only/ "Full Address Column" by lkosson https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/full-address-column/ This feature seems very basic and simple and like it should not require an add-on. If you do a Google search for this feature, then you find many people, who have asked for this feature for many years. ... View more

Sometimes it is not so easy to identify spam in the inbox. The subject and the sender look OK and only when I click on the mail to open it, I can see the email adress to identify spam. It would be helpfull to see the full sender address when mouse over the sender in the inbox. Even better, when a spam button would be directly included with the mouse over bubble with the full email. ... View more

This week I switched email hosting providers for the first time in 20 years, and was surprised that Thunderbird STILL does not have a way for deactivating accounts so that a mail check (via Get Messages) is not issued for closed accounts. MailWasherPro has a very simple checkbox for each account to exclude or "Include account in mail check". Such a check box could easily be implemented on the Server Settings page for each account. Otherwise Thunderbird keeps trying to log in to a non-existing account then producing error messages. Instead I had to go through the extremely tedious way of moving email from the closed account, to Local Folders folder, by folder. Some messages wouldn't move, I don't know why not. I have used Thunderbird for a very long time, prior to that Eudora, all up 3 decades or more, so there were a lot of folders and emails. ... View more
