geary experience was not very good, glad to see this option. Reading and writing mails work pretty well, settings is not adaptive yet. Tested on mobian bookworm and furios trixie.
You need to first download it using git clone command. This command will create mobile-config-thunderbird. If you have not used git before, you will need to run apt install git
I manually copied those files into the designated folder if you follow the path. Restart the thunder bird. It is a bit laggy and no multiple select so far unless you use the shift key from the external keyboard. Geary is still better at this point
git clone or downloading via a browser are two options to get the software. Depending on which method you used to download, the name of the directory will be different. Usually most browsers download files in Downloads directory by default.
The following commands should work,
sudo apt install thunderbird make zip wget # wget is a command line tool to download webpages
wget https://gitlab.postmarketos.org/postmarketOS/mobile-config-thunderbird/-/archive/main/mobile-config-thunderbird-main.tar.gz
tar -zxvf mobile-config-thunderbird-main.tar.gz
cd mobile-config-thunderbird-main/
make
sudo make install
Thank you very much! In fact, I didn’t think I had the right version of Thunderbird installed since the interface displayed was really not easy to use. But I changed the display through Thunderbird Settings and now everything is fine for the “Inbox” and for writing an e-mail. On the other hand, I have no idea how to access emails already sent, spam, drafts… Can you guys do it?
