For many years I have been using Thunderbird for my email and lighting for my calender. There wer lots of good add-ons for highlighting and translating emails.
Since version 60 there have been lots of issues so I rolled back to version 52 with the help of a previous topic.
But still the add-ons are not working.
So have been looking for a new email client but can not find a multi-platform system with the same apps ( spell check, calender, highlighter and translator) any one got any recommendations?
or know how to get the add-ons working in Thunderbird?
Most of the Legacy Addons will never work again in Seamonkey nor in Thunderbird… There are critical bits of code that Firefox/Mozilla have chosen to deprecate permanently. My memory doesn’t serve me, precisely on what those bits might be. Furthermore, most addons were long ago abandoned by their creators as it was too much work to keep up with the rapid release upgrades since Firefox 4. There just aren’t enough addon creators left willing to work that hard for very small rewards.
The news.mozilla.org newsgroups are still active if you want to join up for more specific details.
fwiw, I just reinstalled Seamonkey 2.53 Beta 2, even though I long ago abandoned any use of addons… 8)
When this topic comes up in the peppermintOS forums, most folks refer to protonmail which has free and paid offerings. Yet the vast majority of users no longer use an email client at all.
I have 12 accounts from all over the web filtering into my inbox in the latest release of Seamonkey… so that bit would be covered.
I am reminded that palemoon, which is a seamonkey fork… is attempting to retain some of the prior addons capability… I haven’t installed that for a few years now, but may be worth a look/see?
