Some ideas

Thunderbird
#1

Hi,
I use Thunderbird on Mac and after a ton of experimentation with other clients (Mail, Airmail, Spark, Postbox) i concluded that Thunderbird is the only professional one.
The biggest problems with these clients are:

  • Mail: chronic problem with attachments and inline image
  • Airmail: good functions but unstable, problems with import/export local folder
  • Spark: no local folders… + etc
  • Postbox: can’t set a “send later” button to avoid unintentional sending and TB plugins doesn’t work

Thunderbird is the best at the moment but there’s some potential:

  • improve search = single + clear + intelligent (multiple criteria! “from/to” + “subject/text”) mail-search4
    search box like on Mail Mac … and results in the same window

  • two line preview of the message on the messages list

  • better integration with MacOs (Touch Bar, attachment preview with spacebar, new email from dockbar icon, etc)

  • Undo Send like mailbutler, simple!!

    (by the moment on thunderbird I use Send Later Button + Get/Send-Button)

  • improve design (copy from Mail Mac)

Thank you Ryan for the work that you and your team are doing for make thunderbird even better!
Even though I work a lot of time on computer, unfortunately I’m not a programmer so I hope your team can improve these (and other) functions.
