Have y’all seen the new Thunderbird logo?

Shit’s sexy as hell.

So I have been using Windows mail for ages—mostly because I never looked into e-mail clients before. I probably should have long ago, given it is owned by Microsoft. (I still need to switch to Linux, but haven't had time to really look into it. You'll probably see another post about that when I finally do.)

Anyhow, Microsoft is forcefully migrating all Windows Mail (and Calendar) users to Outlook right now, to retire the aforementioned programs before the end of the year. Apparently Outlook is showing ads in the inbox though, which I do not look like at all, so I started hunting for other e-mail clients.

I stumbled upon Thunderbird, a free donation-based e-mail client that is part of the Mozilla Foundation (the same non-profit that owns Firefox). It is for all major OS's, so I can use it on Linux too when I switch. That also means it is mostly a similar privacy policy as you are used to with Firefox. It does share your IP address with AWS (Amazon), as it uses that for its CDN. And it also shares some info with Gandi.net and Mailfence if you create an e-mail address via Thunderbird, as those two are the mail server hosts it is partnered with. It is also most notably open source, so you can look at the code yourself if you want.

So I set that up on my desktop computer and laptop, and took a little while to import all my e-mail accounts, mails, and set all settings to my preferences. I won't bore you with the details unless you want them, so I will put those under the cut. I did not succeed in importing my Gmail account, but all my other accounts are linked. There's not much of importance on my Gmail account anyway—only Facebook spamming my inbox; I need to delete that account again, hopefully for good this time...

I digress. So what's next? It is one less link to Microsoft, but I still own 2 hotmail (Microsoft) accounts, which means I am still using their servers for all my e-mail traffic. The next step would thus be to use a different e-mail domain. I could use some other mail hosting server (I heard ProtonMail was decent? There's a free tier too.), but there's another option for me too.

Now I do have a Arduino Uno that I still haven't used, so I theoretically could link a subdomain of mine (like mail.<domain> or something) to that device with some port forwarding sprinkled in, and have it function as my own e-mail hosting. Almost no extra costs involved as I am already paying for the domain name. Since I then own the mail server, I could also have unlimited e-mail accounts link to the same inbox. E.g. etsy.<user>@<domain> and patreon.<user>@<domain> would both go to the <user>@<domain> inbox. It's useful when you want to know which company leaked your e-mail to scammers. That's all for a later follow-up though, as that's a distant goal for now.

So you want the details?

Here are some preferences and settings you'll likely want to set when setting up Thunderbird.

First of all, some settings are hidden in the menu bar (made visible with the alt key), that is hidden by default. To make it visible at all times, right click in the empty space at the top and enable "Menu bar" in the context menu that appears.

Privacy settings

Go to the settings under the Privacy & Security tab. For starters, you'll probably want to disable allowing remote content by default (used as read receipts by certain websites), disable allowing cookies, enable sending the DNT signal, and enable the scam alert. The rest can be changed as you see fit; I mostly left that alone.

Dark mode & addons

If you're like me and want that sweet dark mode for your e-mails, you can add an add-on (just like you would in Firefox). To do that, go to settings and click on the "Add-ons and Themes" button in the bottom left. For dark mode I use the add on Dark Reader, but you can use whatever you want. You can copy that link into the address bar of Thunderbird.

Adding another account

To add another account, click on "File" in your menu bar (see above for how to make that appear), and then "New > Existing Email Account". Follow the instructions where needed.

There are other settings and things, but you'll probably want to explore those yourself.

Move Mac Outlook to Apple Mail Instantly and Effortlessly!

Move Mac Outlook to Apple Mail without any effort

If you don't have too much time on your hands, moving Mac Outlook to Apple Mail can be the worst task can be quite displeasing to you. All the manual techniques and traditional software applications to transfer data too much time. They have plenty of other complications as well, but for a productive user, lack of good conversion speed can be major cause for frustration.

If you are looking for an instant conversion tool, you came to the right place.

Best App to Move Outlook to Apple Mail

USL Software is a, well, software company that's been well grounded in email migration industry for quite some years now. They are famous for offering their excellent tools. These are usually with eccentric approach but are quite powerful and effective. Their recent software program is called "OLM Extractor Pro," and it has everything you need to move Mac Outlook to Apple Mail instantly and without efforts.

USL Software worked to make the tool powerful and accurate without making it difficult to use. You will get a basic interface through which you can easily and intuitively interact with its advanced features. It fits the requirements of both an IT expert for large-scale migration projects and a home user for a smaller-scale project.

It's central conversion framework can convert the items that are usually tricky.

Here are two major examples:

Non-English text: It features the full support for conversion of non-English text. This includes languages such as Japanese and Korean, which are encoded with double-byte characters that are usually very tricky to integrate into conversion logic due to their complexity relative to ASCII characters.

Folder Hierarchy: It features the full support for converting emails with their correct folder hierarchy. Almost all users now arrange their emails in particular folders, and losing the hierarchy of these folders is a major issue with conventional tools. "OLM Extractor Pro" works with a very precise set of algorithms that maps the structure compromising the integrity.

It also adds plenty of options to cater to the needs of different users with unique needs. Such as:

Merge items: With conventional tools, it can get messy with the conversion of calendar items and contacts because they convert each entry into a separate ICS and VCF file respectively. "OLM Extractor Pro" allows you to merge all contacts and calendar entries from a single folder into a single VCF and ICS file respectively.

Filter Folders during Selection: After you load the OLM files, you can see all the folders in their order under the preview section. You can mark the ones that you want to convert or un-mark the ones you want to exclude or dismiss. Moreover, you can also filter the folders according to the forms of data inside them, such as, mails, contacts, and calendar entries. You can also ignore all empty folders in a single click by ticking the box that says "ignore all empty folders."

Most tools would turn the unread emails into read emails, which can be quite disappointing. "OLM Extractor Pro" has a dedicated logic to detect the read/unread status, and it not protects that status, it also gives you an option to save them into separate folders.

Does Mr. Turner like rubbing his “son’s” successful career in Dinkleberg’s face??

He does! He brags about Timmy's success to every person within the neighborhood's vicinity. Mr. Turner loves how successful his son is! It really secures his reputation at the neighborhood HOA meetings they host at their house.

Timmy's worked very hard to gain more successes than failures. The more successful he is, the greater his family's social standing!! And the less he gets to overhear his dad ranting to the neighborhood about his failures.
