Presentation and Q&A session with one of the UI designers who worked on Cards View. Lots of insights into the considerations for usability, accessibility and future plans.

Edit: Solved

Either:

  • Set K-9 to Unrestricted Battery in Settings > Apps > K-9 Mail > App battery usage, OR
  • Allow K-9 in Settings > Apps > Special app access > Alarms & Reminders.

If K-9 is already set to Unrestricted, then it won't appear in the second place.


OS: Android 14, Pixel 8

I'm annoyed by this fixed bug (watch does not vibrate when receiving mail), so I enabled the K-9 beta in the app store, and as of today I have version 6.713 which hopefully has the fix.

The release notes say:

Note: For now please manually allow "alarms & reminders" in Android's app settings when using Push on Android 14

... but I can't find those settings. Under Settings > Apps > Special app access > Alarms & Reminders, K-9 mail isn't listed, and there's no Add button.

I do have Push enabled on my email accounts; and I have the notification silenced.

I have K-9 set to Unrestricted battery access.

What am I missing?

The "Places" bar is a great idea but currently useless, as it opens tabs and thus wastes double the space.

So I remove it through the GUI, but it seems with every update or even restart (??) it resets itself to visible again, which is a major annoyance.

I searched in the about:config and couldnt find the config? I would place it in my already existing hardened user.js

It would be nice to have more and better Matrix Support. Are any Plans for that ?

Hey everyone, I’m a big fan of Thunderbird and have a bunch of accounts synced to it. I’m also running into a persistent problem on Windows 10: Thunderbird stalls out as “Not Responding” for about a minute when starting the program and filtering and searching my messages. I’ve tried a few fixes here and there, but never had any luck resolving this. Any suggestions are welcome!

I'm just starting to move over to thunderbird and don't fully understand the differences between tags and folders or why both exist. I'm using gmail at the moment, and am aware that thunderbird's folders are what correspond to gmail's labels. Is there any point to using tags at all? Practical differences/benefits in the way they present themselves as compared to emails sorted into folders? Any use case for both tags and folders concurrently?

Anyone know where the setting is to do this? I prefer having the message preview next to the inbox list (as shown on the website, see the picture), but the default appears to have it along the bottom of the screen. Thanks

Hi,

I am sorry for the stupid question, but I am having problems to find a mail I deleted and I wonder if the "delete" key will archive them as with gmail (and most clients nowadays) or it will actually remove it.
I am pretty new to thunderbird, I started to use it after supernova, so I am not very used to it.

Thanks in advance

Well this is an interesting proposal

Maybe this is just a me problem, and I can't find the settings. Or maybe these are things they changed in 115 and made it worse?

Collapsing threads. If I collapse everything thread, click to a different folder and then click back, every thread is expanded. I would vastly prefer "every thread is collapsed", or "we remember where things were". I never even noticed what it was on 102, but it wasn't "always expand everything"

Tab bar positioning. In 102 (and I could swear in some 115 screenshots Ive seen) the tab bar was at the very top. In 115, the tab bar is below the "Get Messages, Write, Address Book, etc" + search toolbar. The old way was so much better. It feels weird to have things ABOVE the tab bar change when i select a tab. thats the point of tabs, things are supposed to be contained "within" the tab.

Both of these are from their own documentation:

Old good:

New busted:

Are there settings for either of these changes, or is 115 just a downgrade for me and I should stick to 102?
