@bachrauf Hoffentluch habt ihr @monocles / #monoclesChat & @thunderbird / #Thunderbird aufm Schirm!
@thunderbird that sounds terrible!! Why spend so much resource (time, human and money) on something so closed as Apple's ecosystem?
I think you should put effort on improving interface and other features, to a point where #Thunderbird could be a strong plus for Android.
Don't get me wrong, Thunderbird mobile is good, but it can be so improved yet!
We've had a few iOS updates in the last few Android Progress Reports, but with more substantial iOS news, it's time for a name change! So here's the shiny, new(ish) Mobile Progress Report! 
Last month, we published our initial iOS repository, made plans for Testflight and laid out our intended initial features. We also discuss initial release engineering and localization decisions. For the Android app, we made a LOT of fixes.

today one of the duties is done: donated to #thunderbird and #libreoffice :)
do as well, if you can afford it, and think it's a useful thing.

Der Donnervogel fliegt (schon wieder) solo
Zum zweiten Mal ist ein Update des Donnervogels in meinen Feedreader gespült, ohne daß eine korrespondierende Aktualisierung des Feuerfuchses vorausgegangen wäre: Die Entwickler des Mozilla Thunderbird haben das Update auf die Version 138.0.1 freigegeben und damit auch Sicherheitslücken behoben. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2025051402_thunderbird_update/ #Mozilla #Thunderbird #Update #Security

It's been a while, but our Thursday Thunderbird Tips are back! And our first post is all about Thunderbird keyboard shortcuts. If you're already using them, awesome! If not, we’ve got a guide to get you started!

@rakoo @delta @cy @thunderbird
It is a good tool because it allows for self-custody of keys.
Shure that isn't an excuse for #Thunderbird to not deliver sane defaults and handhold users asking them at account creation/import if they want to create/import a keypair and/or wish to automatically activate it.
I don't "belittle people for not knowing how to use gpg" but instead acknowledge the lack of #TechLiteracy as a matter of facts because most people got groomed into being consoomers and into ignorant users.
@rakoo @cy yeah, tho @thunderbird nowadays has #OpenPGP / #GPG - support built in ( #Enigmail ) and that just works.
But @delta / #deltaChat does make things way easier for "#TechIlliterate #Normies" and provides them with a familiar #UI & #UX from other #Messengers whilst also not requiring "yet another #server / #service" to be spun up, which is a major no-no in many organizations, espechally #businesses.
Whereas DeltaChat using #eMail as it's backbone infrastructure works fine, and that is an important point for it like #business use [i.e. #Germany] where all business communications have to be archived for at least 10 years for tax auditability reasons, and the whole #MailArchival issue has been "solved" by multiple providers and solutions so it makes sense to just do a +chat suffix, filter said messages and have them in the same #inbox as all other eMails.
I just wished #Thunderbird would also support displaying such chats similar to deltaChat to provide a #unified experience across platforms...
*sigh* My Thunderbird add-on Send Later allows users to write their own JavaScript functions to implement arbitrary logic to decide when a message should be scheduled for. The current implementation requires unsafe-eval in the add-on source code, which is no longer allowed for good security reasons.
This is frustrating because there isn't actually a security risk in the way my add-on is using unsafe-eval; it's just that unsafe-eval is unsafe in general.

Microsoft subtracts C/C++ extension of VS Code from forks like VSCodium and Cursor:
https://www.theregister.com/2025/04/24/microsoft_vs_code_subtracts_cc_extension/
(Wonder how long it will take for them to deny access to the whole extension store at this point... I already considered looking for alternatives to VSCodium, but all alternatives either don't have split view or website preview feature (even with extensions), so it's not that easy for me to switch. But maybe I'll do a research again and see e.g. if Pulsar already has some Live Server replacement, or maybe a custom localhost solution independent from any code editor, will see.)
Indian court orders a ban on Proton Mail, because of some bad actors sharing deepfakes via the service:
https://news.itsfoss.com/india-proton-mail-ban/
(What a BS excuse to ban a service. Why don't just ban the whole Internet at this point because of some scumbags doing malicious stuff? But of course this was just an excuse to get rid of an encrypted service, this isn't the first time the Indian government does this, they already banned Proton VPN earlier.)

Ok. Just culled ~20,000 of 25,000 #tumblr posts accumulated via #RSS over a month. I've gotta get to work on my own project applying basic statistics to this stuff. Think "reverse chronological + $all_your_own_filtering_and_sorting_and_bucketing". Not sure if I should do that within the confines of a #thunderbird add-on, or try some other approach. I really, really want to be able to use #sql for this stuff. It's a natural fit. But #sqlite seems to be a no-go for #WebExtensions. There is only #IndexedDB, which, in my limited experience with it, is absolute garbage to work with.
I am moving away from #ProtonMail and my main reservation about switching to another provider is that when I don’t use end-to-end encryption (e2ee) my emails would be stored unencrypted in its server, whereas Proton Mail stores all emails with no-access encryption.
I really don’t want sensitive emails that I receive without PGP encryption (medical info, personal government communications…) to be stored without any sort of server-side encryption.
So I’m wondering if it exist some tool that encrypts emails saved in a mailserver even when they are not end-to-end encrypted. Something like @cryptomator, but for emails.
Thoughts? Tips?
(@thunderbird is the main client I would be using)
Edit: someone suggested Posteo, but I have to use my own custom domain, and Posteo does not allow it.
