Originally posted by molecule-eye View PostThunderbird is pretty solid, but I do wish they updated the UI. I have the message pane on the right of the email list (vertical layout), and because list items take up exactly one row, unless you stretch your window out massively wide, the columns are very short. It's impossible to get a full normal-length subject to fully show. That's one reason I prefer KMail over Thunderbird.

Originally posted by JPFSanders View Post* Performance enhancements to the message filtering, it is dead slow if you have lots of filters and one marks the email as read.
If it didn't do it right then in the filtering, it might end up with a bunch of batched filter changes at the end, then a crash or power-off would lose the batch. On restart it wouldn't know where it had been in the filter process.

Originally posted by Michael_S View PostThe one advantage of a web application is easier sign on for multiple devices. Right now I have to set up Thunderbird, then my email on Thunderbird, then my Radicale calendar on Thunderbird on each of my machines. When I use my wife's laptop I either have to set it up there too, or just not get it.
A webapp with a quick login would be easier. But it's no trivial thing, so I'm sticking with Thunderbird.

IMHO configuring Thunderbird to open a message upon double click on its own window/tab is the superior solution, reading panes are always a compromise. At least in my experience.

Originally posted by caligula View PostThey could reimplement it in a modern native web app way. React / Redux frontend with Gatsby. WebGL graphics and MS office document rendering in a background WebWorker using emscripten translated C++ to JS code. JSON RPC REST API. Node.JS backend @ 127.0.0.1. All features could run as micro-services in their own Docker containers with different base OS layer for each container. Maybe mix in Kubernetes to orchestrate things.
