Forum zgromaźeństwa Thunderbird

Thunderbird is so difficult to use. Please improve. I don't know how many users only continue with Thunderbird because they agree with your philosophy. Maybe a lot. I am always fight to make it work. You have to a geek to made perform in an easy way.

Of course there is no category for general concerns, so category choice is wrong by default, sorry about that.

The recent "year in review" included this attached bit. Does that mean that the Mozilla foundation is deciding to not allocate any of their overall revenue to Thunderbird and rely solely on user donations for it? If so, why does it own/manage Thunderbird? To me the entire purpose of an entity like Mozilla managing a project like Thunderbird is like most companies, to be able to allocate extra revenue from more lucrative projects to ones that are less so. Seems that the userbase of a project you own doesn't matter, money^s somehow better allocated to stuff that nobody asked for?

As the title suggests, I find this forum incredibly bad. It's so difficult to even get to the point where I'm able to post a question, I assume that most who search for help give up and browse for a different forum to get help.

Speaking of other forums - I'm not sure if this is supposed to be the official place to get help if you have problems with your Thunderbird install. There is also this one, but that seems to be strictly a place for developers? Or is that for users reporting bugs too? If that other forum is for developers, then my next question would be if Thunderbird developers even read about posted bugs in this forum? If not, then what's the point of this anyways?

In short, I would like to know if this right here is indeed supposed to be the "official" place for Thunderbird users to report bugs and make suggestions or should this be done somewhere else. Just the fact that I as a user can't tell already says a lot.

Please Mozilla or Thunderbird - shut this down and create a better forum for your users! For example, other software that I use has discourse forums that work very well for connecting users and developers. If you can create a better place for your user base to come together, report bugs, make suggestions and give feedback, you make the whole experience around using Thunderbird more enjoyable and ultimately gain more users.

Thank you for your work on Thunderbird.

I use the email address [email 2 removed]@interia.pl. The account is configured in Thunderbird on a Lenovo laptop. The laptop is protected by ESET Smart Security antivirus software. As recommended by Eset, I added ESET VPN to my protection. After enabling ESET VPN, the address doesn't configure. It requests a password. I receive messages that the server is disconnecting. Other addresses work. Disabling ESET VPN causes the address to work. This problem doesn't occur on my other Outlook email client. I would appreciate your help in resolving this issue. Sincerely, Paweł Jędrzejewski

Hello

I just tried to make my first ever donation to Thunderbird, 3 USD per month which won't leave me short at the end of this or any month, (rather than a 36 USD donation once), but it got refused as the minimum amount is 5 USD

Very surprised by this. I know 3 USD per month is not a lot but if every user donated instead of just 3%, it would be a fortune for TB

why can't I ask the actual writers of the program for help, instead of the community? The community is not in charge of writing this program, nor the cause of its problems. The programmers are!

You deserve to got through this so you will UNDERSTAND!!! YOU KEEP changing the settings arouhd, just "pllaying" like it's not very serious for other people! YOu have decimated this and then just when we think you are on our side again, because to us it is not a game or a side shoe for entertainment and playing arouhd, and we think you are going to help and improve and then you redo the settings again throwing us off completelly! I hope it happens to you so you will matrue and know what is REALLY going on!

10-24-25 I asked forum a question and was given ID # 1543058 and now I need to view responses. How to do this. and can it be confirmed that my ID 1543058 is correct

I heard from a computer repair person that Thunderbird is going to be phased out pretty soon. Is that correct? I hope not. I used it for my email and love love love it. I donate $ to it every month.
