Remove Components

Jerry Mahun

When I installed Thunderbird, I selected Custom Installation, thinking I would get an opportunity to select which components I wanted installed. All it allowed me to do is define the installation folder. Not very "customizable." Anyway, I already have a calendar app that I'm perfectly happy with, don't need a task manager, and don't use chat, Is there a way to remove those apps from Thunderbird?

You cannot remove those components, they are too deeply integrated. You can hide the "Chat" icon and Message menu by changing the Advanced option (see <Settings | General | Config Editor>) "mail.chat.enabled" to False, but this doesn't actually remove anything from the program. If there are similar ways to hide Calendar and Tasks, I don't know what they are.

I'm getting a little tired of software developers adding "extras" to the base application. I have at least three different applications with their own calendar that they insist is the best one out there. Hiding the apps, when that's possible, still contributes to bloatware. I'd rather they not be there in the first place. Rather than deeply integrate apps people may not want, why not use plugins like Firefox does? Let me decide which components I want to add.

I want a mail program, not a manage-my-entire-life program (my wife handles that).
