Looking at the linked-from-the-“due to differences”-link emails… jesus christ… so that’s what people mean by Mozilla prioritizing greedy money…
Ngl that link puts me slightly off. It reads exactly like what people booted for very good reasons say
The following paragraph shows how so-called cancel culture was used weaponising […]
And in the email, Mozilla talks about him violating their “inclusivity” policy… we also don’t know what was reported, only the reasons stated.
Not saying that it wasn’t unjust, just that we only have 1 perspective and it’s written in a way that raises some red flags.
I agree that I’d be very curious as to what the violations actually are, but…
- No specific instances of violations are referenced in the CPG emails
- There’s no language in the CPG emails regarding prior warnings
- Suspension from the council is clearly out-of-process
If you read the developer’s background and reasons for the fork, it’s actually a lot more… cringe.
Pretty much, the guy lost his shit because Mozilla is woke / SJW / DEI and all the lovely buzz words used by certain people.
Mozilla doesn’t do loose coupling of UI and core, huh?

Im lzy, ty
This is amazing. Thanks!
Is there a way to use this as a drop in replacement easily? Like maybe move my Thunderbird profile folder into a Bettterbord folder, or maybe an automatic import option?
This looks promising but I don’t really want to set up my email accounts and settings from scratch.
As per the FAQ they seem to share the exact same profile so you can seamlessly switch between them (provided both are the same dot release)
I just gave it a try and it does not pick up my existing Thunderbird data automatically, or prompt to import it.
Same here :(
Booooo
The instructions change if you’re using flatpak. I was only able to get it to work with a manual import
I’m on Windows myself, so nothing being isolated here.
I had no idea!
Wonder if any of that stuff will make it upstream and if not if there’s good reason?
As per the FAQ:
We will submit all changes to upstream to eventually benefit Thunderbird.
