Is that a Stripe screen? Set up american style to reduce friction, not supporting 3d secure, which means european credit cards will deny by default?

Proceeds to run an ad. An ad for yourself is still an ad.

Why couldn't this be shown when I upgraded thunderbird, rather than at a random time of your choosing?

Thunderbird is great <3 use it daily, for all my work and personal mail. Donating

Edit: They won't let me: "We couldn't verify that this email address is able to receive mail. Try again or enter a different email address to continue."

A bit more context would be helpful, as someone happy to donate -- what is the current situation, why the urgency? Just some more info would be good.

I have actually bought a lifetime license for em Client.

Thunderbird had consistently (Windows / Linux) a bad performance for me and feature and UX wise it has always only been okay for me.

Still important that a few FOSS solutions for email exist, though.

Now that Protonmail has an ok-ish PGP interface they've been bleeding users, it's a really important piece of the open source infrastructure and I hope folks support it -- back when I was with Mozilla, I said they should focus on using less ram and less CPU, not weird little side quests like... well the list goes on and on.

One thing I think we should do is allow Thunderbird to return to the early Firefox model -- it's a stable product, that people can install extensions on. Save for security updates and keeping up with OS quirks, it doesn't need constant tinkering.

I'm not saying they don't need the money, I'm just saying I'm concerned how and why we got to this point.

I haven't used Thunderbird in 15 years.

Donated anyway. I was very happy with it for the years I did use it.

I used TB happily for years on Mac OS but its font rendering on Linux was one of the main reasons I never switched.

when i used windows i was happy with The Bat email client: https://www.ritlabs.com/en/products/thebat/download.php

I wish I could donate without entering an email address.
