Talk:Thunderbird:Home Page

As the Product Manager for an application that adds Infuzer powered events and itineraries directly into electronic calendars without the need to cut and paste or type anything(currently Outlook, Lotus Notes and Palm Desktop), I am charged with keeping up with the pulse of consumer demand for supporting new platforms. If I make a case for it, I can pressure our developers to start the process of supporting this project. Let me know if this type of convenience feature is important to all of you. Additionally, sports schedules, public holidays and weather are also "events" that can be added in a single click.

Thunderbird Features Wishlist

As a fairly active Thunderbird user (even migrated to 1.5rc1 ahead of schedule just for spell-checking coolness) I've got a few wishlist items I'd like to see:

• News & Blogs could use the new (1.5rc1) Firefox Error pages: particularly the Page Timeout page. Its currently something of a pain to try to refresh a page that timed out and it would be nice to have the "Try Again" button.

• What's the possibility of allowing (within a sand box) JavaScript and Cookies just for Blogs? It would be nice to view some of my RSS feeds while logged in (maybe even with automagic login...) to the respected web page, and run simple "AJAX-ified" controls. Although, I'd still want major links to pop up in Firefox itself.

As a trusty thunderbird-user since its birth I miss one thing:

What about an import/export possibility for messages/accounts?

I think that's a must-have.

Sorry for my bad english ;-)

- Messages in Thunderboard are standard ASCII so they don't need to be exported. You can even read them in notepad. If you are moving to some other program, they may need to be imported. As for importing/exporting accounts... this is available, depending on what you mean. --Calan 21:04, 5 Jan 2006 (PST)

As an intensive user of Thunderbird with a total of more than 5GByte spread over more than 300 mail folders (hierarchically organized) and most of them with corresponding filters I would appreciate very much to have the following features in future thunderbird versions:

• When sending a reply to a message, the copy of the sent message should not be stored in the sent folder (or any other statically defined folder), but in the same folder as the original message that belongs to the reply.

• When moving a message manually to a mailfolder I would like to have an item "create new mailfolder" in the context menu.

Best regards, OK (Nov 9th, 6PM MET)

Default Encryption For Thunderbird

I feel very strongly that routine encryption of email is long overdue. The first time I used email in the late 80's, I was uncomfortable with the total lack of privacy. I can't believe this hasn't been solved, yet!

I propose that future releases of Thunderbird incorporate default encryption and signing of all email throught a peer-to-peer, double-key encryption system, similar to PGP.

I'm proposing a very simple system, essentially:

1. ) Thunderbird will include a double-key encryption system
2. ) Thunderbird-originated emails will include a line "public key available"
3. ) Thunderbird clients will automatically exchange keys when they spot #2
4. ) Future messages between the two will automatically be encrypted

Encryption must be default rather than an optional plug-in or extra effort if we are finally going to solve the vulnerability of totally open email.

For this to work, the system has to be simple and what I'm suggesting is VERY simple: After the first email, the Thunderbird clients exchange public keys. All email after that is encrypted with no effort by the user.

Can anyone else jump on this bandwagon with me? I honestly believe that adding this one feature could have a profoundly positive impact on everything from commerce to human rights.--Calan 20:49, 5 Jan 2006 (PST)

RSS XML complete restore

Is it possible to completely restore the read/deleted threads from the original RSS/XML file? It would be great for testing for RSS developpers. I even tried to remove the subscription and renew it without success.
