Re: Decluttering Thunderbird/other alternatives?

I'm using the latest Thunderbird on Ubuntu Mate 20.04, and yes the today pane is what I'm refering to, which put a calendar above the folder list, and the filter messages/search bar. Which is infinitely annoying since Mozilla decided to have it on by default, and this was publicized before the latest update of Thunderbird.

On the subject of Alpine/Mutt, I'm runnning into issues with Gmail giving me critical security issues due to how Mutt/Alpine handle authenticating things, so Tim, any ideas?

hey there,

hmm, I'm affraid I kind of don't understand it.

How exactly is Thunderbird clutter?


As for Lightning, yes, it used to be there, but it was never appearing
anywhere near the components used for navigation, and was so invisible,
that I don't remember ever seeing it.

In fact, I don't even know, whether it is still here or not. :D

There were various changes, and I don't remember what's the current
resolution.


As for the new message window, what version of TB do you use?

In 78+ releases, the recipient field was replaced by a newone, which
allows you to write everything to that one place.

Right after finishing the address and tabbing or may be pressing some
key (I did not check), it disappears and nextone can be written, if you
wish the message to be send to anyone else.


So in practice, you need just one tab to get to the subject field.


In general, I'm personally really satisfied with TB. It perhaps could be
a little bit faster with imap accounts, but since I use Protonmail,
which provides its own app to create a local imap server for end to end
inbox encryption / decryption, that doesn't really bother me as local
sockets have practically no speed limits.


Being able to sort e-mails to threads (in a logical way, unlike
Evolution), receive RSS news and write eMails in Markdown, I personally
currently don't have any reasons to search alternatives, except my
curiosity. :)


Best regards

So is there a way I can declutter Thunderbird to be simpler/easier to
navigate? I don't /need/ Lightningtaking up space, or having to tab
twice in writing a message to get to the subject field.

So can I do anything to declutter Thunderbird. Or are there any
alternative email programs that are just as good as Thunderbird that
work great with Orca?
