If you're like us, you want to be organized but...life happens. But if you want to start the week getting a handle on your virtual clutter, we've found an awesome organization workshop that uses open source and privacy respecting tools! Give it a try - or let us know the organization tips and tricks that work for you.

A few weeks ago we shared some of the music we at Team Thunderbird use to get focused. We'd love to know what tunes - songs, playlists, or even genres - help you flow through that Monday morning inbox. ✉️ 🎧

It's Monday, and if you're like us, being online for work and fun can be a literal pain in the neck. @pocket_recommends has a great collection of stretches for the very online, and this week we're giving seated neck stretches a try: https://www.prevention.com/fitness/g20430012/5-restorative-neck-stretches-you-can-do-sitting-down/?utm_source=pocket_collection_story 🪑

How do you all remember to stay limber in front of your keyboard, whether it's at your desk or on your keyboard? 📱 ⌨️

Avoid missing attachments in Thunderbird with attachment keywords that you can customize!

Go to Thunderbird Menu > Settings > Composition, and scroll to 'Attachments.' Click on 'Keywords' to maintain YOUR custom keyword list. 📎

If you're, ahem, strategically not attaching documents when you say you've attached them, you can turn reminders off across Thunderbird in Attachment Settings - or disable reminders for the current message when the attachment reminder pops up. 😉

Getting ready for Halloween, recovering from changing the clocks, or dreaming about fall on a spring day down south? We hear you! Today we're listening to some spooky Lofi tunes to get in the work groove and have more treats than tricks. What are your tunes to get energized, find focus, or wind down? 🎧 🎃

For those of us receiving email in multiple languages, it would be awesome to have #Firefox Translate built in to Thunderbird. No sending your sensitive conversations to a corporate cloud, just a lean translation service running locally.

We've decided to make it a development priority for Q1 2024!

You'll be able to track the progress via this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1823007

But as always, we'll also keep you posted right here.

@ngdangtu Logo changes are tough, but we're pretty proud of this one! You can read more about it here: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2023/05/introducing-the-brand-new-thunderbird-logo/

Like the legend of the phoenix, we're resurrecting Mozilla Send, an end-to-end encrypted file share service, and bringing it under our wings as Thunderbird Send. In this clip from S1E5 of the ThunderCast, developer Chris Aquino gives us a sneak peak of the new - wait, old - er, reborn project! Learn how #Thunderbird Send will help you overcome your file upload woes, respect your privacy, safeguard against abuse, and hopefully change your #email experience for the better.

A big congrats to @ubuntu and all the flavors on the release of 23.10! Even if we can't tell the future, we know it's gonna be great. 💙 🧡

In light of recent ransomware masquerading as Thunderbird, now is an excellent time to review the list of trusted places you can download and install Thunderbird from. @linuxflower walks you through the list for each operating system: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2023/10/ransomware-alert-are-you-using-a-trusted-version-of-thunderbird/

We never did a proper #introduction, did we? 😲

Hi Fediverse, we're Thunderbird, an #opensource #email client available for free on Linux, macOS and Windows. (And coming next year to Android. FINALLY, right?)

You can use Thunderbird for managing an unlimited number of mail accounts, calendars, newsgroup accounts, and RSS feeds. You can also chat using your @matrix account.

💙 LIKES: Open standards, privacy, freedom, customization.

🚫 DISLIKES: Proprietary code.

Nice to meet you 📩

The Thunderbird team is a remote-first, globally distributed group, so it made perfect sense to devote an episode of our #podcast to #RemoteWork!

Join Heather, Chris, and Jason for some useful tips and tricks to make your daily remote work more enjoyable and productive.

Plus: An inside look at the upcoming Thunderbird Send service, and some geeky Raspberry Pi solutions for weather and BBQ.

We're not done with Thunderbird Supernova!

As promised, we will continue to improve the UI and functionality of message threads and Cards view.

We outline the upcoming changes in our Thunderbird UX mailing list here: https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/ux/Tdb49a4666565e68e-M4aba7d876e0ced9c8d66ca58

A mockup with developer comments is also available from the link.

💡 If you have valuable feedback to offer about this, please reply to the mailing list so our developers & community see it!

Our next podcast episode is all about #RemoteWork. Do you have tips or software suggestions for working remotely? We want to hear from you!

Send an email to podcast@thunderbird.net with your ideas to make remote work smoother and more productive. We'll read as many as we can on Episode 5 of the ThunderCast.

@creek @Polychrome To add to this, the legacy view is still the default, not the "Supernova" view.

The Thunderbird team is back from Mozilla’s All-Hands event, and we’re overwhelmed in the most positive way.

Ryan, Jason, and Alex talk about how Mozilla is building AI tools for the good of humanity, and how our own perception of AI has changed. Plus, the problem with the “hey Mozilla, just build a browser” argument.

Listen to Episode 4 here:

#podcast #Mozilla #Thunderbird #AI

It seems like every service that offers social media management (for example Hootsuite, GoCharlie, Buffer) is pushing community managers and marketing folks to use #AI to generate posts, and even entire campaigns.

Just wanted to emphasize that every word you see here is generated by a human, and it always will be.

While we believe there are opportunities for AI that might benefit humanity, the time-honored tradition of talking to our fellow humans is NOT one of those opportunities!

Hello Thunderbird community!

#Thunderbird #Community

Happy Monday, Thunderbird family! Our entire team is currently descending on Montreal for @mozilla All Hands 2023.

For the vast majority of us, it'll be the first time we're all meeting in person. This is ridiculously exciting!

In addition to networking with the broader Mozilla family, we're going to be busy planning out the roadmap for 2024 + 2025, brainstorming new features, and figuring out how to keep growing this amazing community.

Stay tuned!
