Thunderbird on Maemo
 

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

With a few GUI optimizations this would be a wonderful mail client.

Thanks for the news

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

Um. Wow. :)

-T.

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

Maybe Spicebird too...

nothing to say except that ... :

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

Where can I download TB for Maemo?

Thank you!

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

You can't. Not yet at least...

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

Funny, I was just wondering if thunderbird would compile for maemo!

Like... legit earlier today. This is really cool, I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

I'll make a build available soon; there's a couple of annoying bugs I'd like to look at squashing first...

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

Cool!..
Will it be something that I can install and remove fairly easy!

BTW (and off topic), is it just me or does it look like Reg may have a few keys mapped incorrectly? :confused:

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

It's ok if it's an classic .tar.gz file like on ftp://ftp.mozilla.org , which I can decompress in /usr/lib and set a symlink into /usr/bin

Great, Thunderbird is my personal fave on my desktop machine. As lightning will be integrated into future versions of TB3, we will get everything I need :)
If Mozilla team recognize that TB is build and used on Maemo, they'll maybe do a version for 800x480 :)

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

It reads well in the original Reg's post, but not here.

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

Interesting... Maybe it happens if you cut and paste coded text from a blog or suttin'...

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

It would be interesting to compare its performance with claws, which already works pretty well on the tablet.
Both aren't the best imap client[*], but both are "good enough".
[*] Edit: that would be mulberry, the only one that really uses the imap paradigm to its full potential, and it would be killer on a constrained device like the tablet. Polymer also gets it but it's too buggy and bare-bones, and I couldn't get telomer, the tablet version of polymer, to work with diablo.

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

If we had Sunbird, it would also alleviate complaints that there isn't a good native calendaring app.

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

Sunbird will be integrated in Thunderbird 3.

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

Hmm.. as much as I prefer Thunderbird over anything else, I have a bunch of questions about this. Will it be lightweight enough to run decently--not just speed, but the way it uses all the resources like minimizing memory, temp space and flash read/writes? Will the email contents be stored compressed? Will we be able to store email in either /media/mmc paths of our own choosing instead of home? etc etc

I'm curious. I like the idea of using Thunderbird on my N800--one more point toward the idea of using my N800 more and my laptop less and less. :)

Thanks for your efforts!

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

No package available? I don't need a deb, a tar.gz like from original mozilla.org is really enough. Thank you! :)

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

You can ask the developer directly here http://blog.mozilla.com/dolske/2008/...bird-on-maemo/ that is his blog entry. Or e-mail him. But its volunteer work, so don't demand. Be humble.

If he could provide his config flags we might be able to compile our own port.

Be aware Icedove (Debian's Thunderbird) 2.0.16 works on ARM: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/icedove here are also the depedencies listed.

One usability related issue will be lack of hildonized GUI though.

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

U got Icedove to work?? Mine keeps segfaulting.

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

No, I haven't. I thought one'd have a fair chance given it runs on Debian/ARM.

I'd prefer not run such a 'big' application on my NIT.

Consider to try it with ssh -fXTC hostname command and see how this suits your needs?

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

I only ask, I don't demand. I'm not in hurry because I've Thunderbird-To-Go with my Eee :)

Different GUIs are much more common on N8x0 than a standard GUI which can be used with thumb only. Even the apps which comes original, are so different (small/big scrollbars...) that this doesn't matter if another app is again a mess to use ;)

Thank you for the link to his blog! :)

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

Any news on the Thunderbird build installer for Maemo?

That and Lightning/Sunbird, and a SyncML client for them, would be absolutely lovely.

(there are SyncML plugins for Thunderbird already, just saying hoping there'd be one ported along with Thunderbird/Lightning for Maemo)

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

Bump! I've just recently switched over to Thunderbird and Lightening, and with my tablet arriving in my mailbox tomorrow, I'd love to be able to synch email and calendar between my laptop and tablet...

Just wondering, if this thunderbird port isn't available to the public yet, do folks have any other ways they synch with thunderbird? I suspect I'll just end up checking my mail via gmail in the browser. But would much prefer to use thunderbird...

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

IMAP might be your solution ...

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

Gmail IMAP is working like a charm, thanks!

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

Any update for Maemo5? I really like that layout

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

*buuuuuuuuump* :D

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

I installed Thunderbird 3 on the N900, using Easy Debian (it is called "IceDove" in Debian). It can be found in the "Experimental" repository. It runs reasonably quickly, but I didn't get the UI set up very nicely, and so it is quite cramped and difficult to use.

Hey, I just discovered that it is installed in the latest image available for Easy Debian. So you can try it out yourself if you're a hacker type who can download and extract the image file manually :)

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

How do you get this layout? Is it an add-on?

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

I think it was just a rendering with no code behind it

Re: Thunderbird on Maemo
 

I'm feeling patient becaue we all have off days...

• Thunderbird - email client created by Mozilla. A version is available that can be used when running EasyDebian. Have a look on maemo.org/packages and the package pages for debian.org to see the current situation.
  
• PR-1.4 release date - never, unless someone sucessfully sues Nokia (and non-OSS partners) for selling a device that doesn't do what it says on the tin. PR-1.3 is the last one as confirmed by those community members who were working with Nokia on code-release. That might sound bad but the CSSU team have worked wonders to get improved settings and UI features to us all. The CSSU is the nearest thing you/we will get to acieving PR-1.4. Go to the CSSU wiki page for more info on how to install etc.
  
• Off-topic:
  The worst thing about the dropped support from Nokia is the subsequent absence of updates from commercial N900 development partners, including Adobe, hence no Shockwave-Flash 10.x.

Polite request: Use TMO with care

• If you're not sure of something, please read through the thread first: your question will probably be answered before you get to the end of the thread. If your question isn't answered and/or you didn't understand the answers - go ahead, post your question; refering to the thing you're asking about is a good idea, too.
• For subjects that are likely to effect all users, such as dates for a PR, please use the Power Search button. Look at talk threads and the wiki - someone else has probably asked the same question already.
• Lastly, if you don't get a response in a day then by all means re-post/bump but 9:42 then 9:47 is five minutes by my maths so, again, please use TMO with care.

You have been warned, others will flame you.

I haven't seen lmgtfy before - love it!
