That video is basically just a “this concept is kinda cool but the product sucks”

Thunderbird is pretty messy currently.

The steps I would like is:

  • make the mailbox “filter” search the main search, remove the “everywhere” search which is annoying
  • remove the sidebar or actually replace tabs with it
  • remove redundant right-click-menu entries
  • remove some buttons etc
  • hotkey most of the UI things

I would like to collaborate on achieving this, do you know projects doing stuff like that?

I know SimpleMenuWizard for Firefox but nothing equivalent for TB. Same with vimium for hotkeys.

Edit: oops tired german spello, lets see if everyone of you gets the updated title, mastodon for sure doesnt.

    I really prefer that Thunderbird isn’t going the route of overly clean form-over-function design that many modern apps have.

    Hard agree on the need for hotkeys though, using it using only keys is something I’m desperately missing
