I'm a longtime Thunderbird user and don't get all the changes they make. It's a good functional client. I would rather want to see the parts not neccessary needed for an email client to able to disable, such as Calendar, Tasks and Chat. I use the RSS Reader, so that News REader functionality would be on for me. But can't we disable all the other modules?
This and an first party integrated system tray icon showing number of unread messages would be extremely helpful (and maybe optional notifications). I'm baffled why these things are not builtin, but a Chat?
I would be in favor of having these things as modules you can compile in or leave out.
Addons would not be possible as they probably do too much stuff.
100% on the notifications, tray icons dont matter, but working desktop notifications are a must and it is insane that they dont work.
Well I don't agree on that tray icons wouldn't matter. They are very useful. But either way, it would be good to have the option for these two very basic and important functionality. On the compile flags, that would even be better, as these modules wouldn't be in the final binary / install anymore.
But I would be just happy if we could turn the modules off in the options, so the actual Thunderbird client is less cluttered, less possibilities of bugs affecting me and lighter on resources. Why not get rid of them entirely and make standalone applications? It would free some development resources too, for the core Thunderbird mail client.
Maybe switching to a lighter alternative is a good idea.
The biggest effect would be ditching Firefox ESR and running as a webapp.
