Support VJOURNAL in Thunderbird

[woifes]

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.

+1 This would be fantastic if implemented in TB. That way I can access notes/journals on Linux and Windows easily. My notes atm are stored as text files on WebDAV, which is good enough for syncing and accessing on any OS, but I think CalDAV vJournal would be a more natural place to store notes since you can tie them into vToDo and vEvent calendaring. Also, if TB did implement vJournal support I would also suggest support to render Markdown text in notes. I live and breathe Markdown in my text files. 😋

I agree, this would be a fantastic feature for Thunderbird.

No-brainer.

Writing journals is nothing but communicating with your future self. It's a clear cut Thunderbird core feature.

It's embarrassing for the TB roadmap committee that this thread is necessary at all.

Having my notes on my desktop as well would be just great...

[Kflesch]

KDE Kontacts supports it too. It is the one thing keeping me from using Thunderbird as a daily driver.

Would love to see how this could work, especially in the upcoming Android app! ❤️‍🔥

I would love seeing this in TB. 

I just started using TB on laptop and mobile this year as I try to de-Google my personal accounts. As a result of that I'm using CalDav, and discovered Jtx Board and vjournal. I organize everything in my calendar and vjournal is a great feature in that ecosystem. 

At the moment I don't have a good UI to vjournal on my laptop. I've read people having a good experience with KOrganizer, but of course it's the classic situation where I use a non-KDE desktop and like to keep things consistent across devices. Maybe this is why everything eventually sinks into the gravity well of Emacs?
