This makes it possible to correctly render all email characters when viewing in a text editor. Using the plain text Export Format with conversion to ANSI unchecked now produces all email in UTF-8 encoding.Fixes issue when exporting to PDF using an Export Format based on rich contents and plain text.Adds workaround to several infrequent errors sometimes produced by IMAP servers, notably Yahoo! Mail.This is an important update and we recommend all Aid4Mail v4 users to update to v4.64.And sorry but Thunderbird isn't quite it, though it's the only choice.Fixes issue when appending email to a PST file under the 64-bit edition of Outlook. How Windows can no longer have any nice free consumer email client when there are at least ten on Android is puzzling and rather frightening. I was perfectly happy with Windows Live Mail but MS decided to kill it (to actively kill it, they didn't put it in maintenance mode, they intentionally disabled it) and replace it w/ some Metro crap with a weird UI and no clear backup capabilites. I got my own Archive folders on IMAP, than you.īut then, the free email clients situation on Windows is a disgrace. )Ģ- It's too rich for my needs, I just want a local duplicate of my IMAP folders plus a unified Inbox in particular it does that dreaded thing of creating its own smart folders, ie Archive. This move may mean Thunderbird starts using, for example, the Chromium+Node based Electron but (given they still have close ties to Mozilla) it could equally mean they are planning to use Mozilla's new rendering engine (see Ars' write up of Project Quantum for more info).ġ- There are bugs: some emails can't be deleted via the Delete button, but right-click>delete works an blank email keeps popping up and database compactions don't cure it.

Mozilla don't want to have to maintain legacy tech just for Thunderbird's benefit, hence the necessary move to using web standards. XUL is a Mozilla only tech that has been limping along for ages now, while HTML5 is a standard and has come one leaps and bounds. Thunderbird (and Firefox) is built on XUL which is going away. I think this article is unclear on the issue, Thunderbird is planning a move away from XUL and towards web technolgies. Has mozilla ever built a product that used webkit or blink?

I mean, it was my understanding that the entire focus of the mozilla group was the gecko engine and the products built around it (firefox, sunbird, thunderbird, seamonkey, etc).

The Thunderbird Council would also like to end its reliance on Mozilla's Gecko
