No need for spells, eldritch invocations, or inherent abilities to see Thunderbird's dark side. To enable dark mode in Thunderbird:

Feel free to tell everyone you know about this! Repeatedly. :angery:

Hey @kde and @LAS! We are loving the Big Blue Button you set up for us - and we're excited for the Linux App Summit in October! We’re lucky to have such great friends in the Open Source community. :ablobcatheartsqueeze:

🕘 December 2009: Maybe you were upgrading your computer to the new Windows 7, or checking out Ubuntu 9.0. Perhaps you were pouring all your free time into Valve’s ridiculously fun survival shooter Left 4 Dead 2. And maybe, just maybe, you were eagerly anticipating installing Thunderbird 3.0…

Step back into the Thunderbird Time Machine as Jason looks at what this such a landmark release!

#SCaLE21x, it's almost time to say goodbye, but it's been a blast. Thank you everyone who came by our booth to share your stories, heard @linuxflower talk about Thunderbird for Android, and made our first time here a great one. 🐧 💙

@vkc Was it the OWL plugin? In case you ever need Exchange support again, we're in the process of making it native! (I know, took long enough but better late than never...)

Thanks for taking the ride with us, Veronica.

~Jason

@potungthul @vkc Well, it’s less that OWL is going native, and more that we’re building native out-of-box support for Exchange. Either way, the end result is going to be awesome. Thanks for being here with us!

Happy #TuneTuesday Fediverse! With today's theme of #GhostStorySongs, one epic track immediately springs comes to mind.

A sweeping, intensely emotional, downright heavy song about tragic love, by none other than Nightwish.

This particular live version of Ghost Love Score (from Wacken 2013) never fails to give me chills during its crescendo. And Floor Jansen's vocals elevate this thing to the stratosphere.

Enjoy, rock out, and have a very musical Tuesday!

It's SCaLE21x week! We're dragging out our suitcases and making our packing lists - can't forget the stickers! We'll be at Booth 215 Friday through Sunday, and we hope you come visit us. It's our first year at SCaLE and we can hardly wait. 🐧 🌴

And in a completely, totally, honestly unrelated question, we've been thinking about the kinds of Easter Eggs you can't eat. What are YOUR favorite hidden surprises? Any media counts! 🐣 😉

It's Thursday, and we've got a Thunderbird two in one tip! If you use tags to organize your emails, today's tips are all about activating and moving tags in the Folder Pane.

1. Click the Folder Pane Menu (three dots on right side of 'New Message') 📁
2. Hover over Folder Modes ➡️
3. Enable Tags ✅

Want to move the tags around? Click on the vertical three-dot Tags menu to shift them up or down.

It's #TuneTuesday and the theme is #IBoughtItFirst - the first single/album you got for yourself. @communiteatime is driving and picking the music, so don't say we didn't warn you. ⚠️

That first album was...Shepherd Moons by Enya. For a 90s teen into Irish and New Age music, what else would it have been? 😅

This was my fav song, and it made it onto my Ireland travel playlist for OSS-EU back in 2022. And now our earworm is yours! What was your first? 🐛
