Important Considerationsīefore you download and test the beta, there are some important considerations to be aware of: That’s because development is frozen so we can touch up version 102’s new features. Now is a good time to jump in, because through June 2022 we expect the Thunderbird beta to be more stable than normal. Please follow these instructions to install Thunderbird.ĭo you want to help the global Thunderbird community by discovering and reporting bugs? Then beta is a great choice for you, because it gets fixes and new features long before they reach release! Yes, I'm a hoarder, I like to keep proof of a lot of transactions and conversations.Your system doesn't meet the requirements to run Thunderbird. Using incremental backups which would be ideal aren't practical because some of the regularly used files are GByte size. I can't afford to have something mess up my emails, I have them doubly backed up but that only works if you know the profile was good the last time it was backed up. I'm trying to minimise the use of my PC and keep pi as my main day-to-day desktop but I want the emails to mirror each other on the pi and PC so I can use either. I have a lot of email accounts going into Thunderbird as well a loads of filtering into sub-folder etc. i didn't bother looking into the slowness as my main problem is transferring a 1.69.0.x profile across to the pi, I could probably bodge it backward some versions but you never know what problems could pop up in the future. Thanks, always useful to know background info. For me at least the PiOS version works OK, after it is up an running.Įdit: here: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=268125&p=1628398#p1628398 The other guy pulled the Debian (or at least a non PiOS version) of Thunderbird and it apparently did not have the slowness problem. A couple of us had a thread on this a couple of months(?) back.
