Just recently started using thunderbird to see how it would help managing múltiple Gmail accounts. Has anybody used the app version? Is it good? Bad?

I’ve been using it for a couple years with two accounts. It’s great imo, highly recommended

I’ve been using K-9 for a while, works great, didn’t realise it was related to thunderbird.

Same. At some point had jumped on librem mail as it had forked k9 to update the interface, but have been back for a few years now.

One or two years ago Mozilla hired the main developer of K-9 Mail. The dev previously raised enough donations to work on K-9 Mail for a while and modernize it after not having an official release for years.

Mozilla hired the dev, and K9 will be renamed to Thunderbird next month.

I think I’ve been using K-9 Mail for 10+ years or something. The settings were kind of all over the place but it has always been one of the email clients with the most features.

Fairmail has a ton of features. I left k9 when it seemed like it was abandoned.

I am using both now that it is maintained again.

Do you get ads in Gmail in other clients? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one

Google’s gmail app recently started showing ads in the inbox alongside messages, really gross stuff

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

  • Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel. GNU/Linux or otherwise.
