Setting up calendar to Thunderbird makes me want to carve my eyes out from my head.
Is this really the state of acceptable UI on OSS in 2026?
Why don't projects backed by companies invest even small amount of money in hiring designers? Even just one.
We need to step this up. OSS is losing. We have to start winning.

@lehtimaeki At this point, Thunderbird is maintained by a tiny team for the size of the project. And it seems really hard to maintain FOSS email clients these days, since there aren't really any better options, although many have tried. I hope some digital sovereignty money flows towards desktop email clients in a big way. We need them to reclaim email from Google, and it isn't _that_ hard.
@eighthave : I think one of the tricky things is that those of us who want a less corporate email also want encryption when possible so we end up using browser based email clients.
Glad to know Thunderbird is still a thing.
