![]() ![]() ![]() Then add in the outrageous crashiness of TB post-downgrade, thus preventing me from ever even seeing Firetray's functions.Ī perfect recipe for frustration - that ate up too many hours of that day. Yes - there may be ways to do it either folder by folder and/or via CLI, but that is not happening for me.Ĭonsidered Evolution - but the same sorts of differences & efforts for my main email uses also applied to it. My original idea of moving from the old TB to Claws was mainly scrapped due to its usage of a storage format which I could not easily & directly get ALL of my content imported to My destination in all this is in sight - but I need to avoid falling into the big fissures in this road which have been the openings for the time & effort gobbling abyss hiding just beneath them !! Thank You for replying so helpfully & thoughtfully to my plea for help !! : Yes of course I have Synaptic & would prevent updating, if the rest of this as described is somehow possible ? Perhaps it may be possible to preserve the profile data from V68.2.2 to 52.9.1 somehow ? (No idea if they are too radically different ?) Meh.Įvolution may be OK for use with non-G accounts, but also seems not to play nice anymore with those absolute OAUTH2 requirements.Īs far as uninstalling my present TB - doing so will nullify an entire day's work of setting up the accounts & copying in all the archived stuff - UNLESS: Tried Geary - and it is perfectly horrid IMO - lobotomized to look good on phones with about zero in the ways of putting brain cells into it. My desire was to go from TB to Claws, but that ambition was misguided for pretty much all the same reasons. The setup of SeaMonkey's email client suits me well - but as a whole it is less than stellar to install, use - and likely also fails the OAUTH2 deal as well.Īre there any really great alternatives that DO support OAUTH2 whilst still being quite plain ? I used to adore Thunderbird around version 2 or 3, but since then its become too cluttered & 'modernized' for my liking. alternative(s) that will work for Gmail's demand for OAUTH2 Support & Help Requests Is there a better & decently simple way to gain this function that I simply didn't find via searching ?ĭoes any of the above get me to lean towards moving backwards to some sort of windoze ?īut it sure does shine a light upon some things that would make Linux users very happy if they could have them. There used to be 'popper', but it went extinct, then got updated to 'mailnag', which is a complete hassle to try to use. It works splendidly for gmail - but if you have a 3rd party email server other than that - fuggedaboud it. Of the (small) lot, the closest to actually working is an unsupported app called Unity Mail. Of course the Linux world has several separate email alerter apps one may use - if one is patient enough in tolerating their foibles this used to be sort of a built-in function, but those far-sighted devs also decided to remove the OS's own notifier. ![]() ![]() In their hurry to lobotomize Thunderbird they made it almost impossible to customize & something like 90% of its addons are no more.including the tray notification addon I enjoyed for years & years.īeing forced to switch into the latest version of TB & Seamonkey to cover my emailing needs under Linux is a huge disappointment to me. Of course over 90% of any blame in this gripe points STRAIGHT to the Mozilla folks. (Please do correct me here if I am mistaken - that will be very appreciated !?!) Such a seemingly simple subject - email alerts.right ? (Never mind.we ain't got any steenken alerts.) ![]()
