HNAbusesUsers··on The Future of Thunderbird
How does it "not support" Office365? No Exchange support?

Condolences on having to use O365, BTW.

HNAbusesUsers··on The Future of Thunderbird
After getting my parents new computers, setting them up from scratch, and finding that Windows is an even more depressing shitshow than ever and lacking any competent E-mail program... I installed Thunderbird for the first time in at least a decade and a half.

And I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's better than I remember, and worked great for the 20,000 messages or so in each of their AOL In boxes. Sadly, I'm not kidding about those In boxes.

For my accounts I rely on Apple Mail and SpamSieve, which works well. The dealbreaker for me when I tried Thunderbird years ago is that it lacked any way to export the filters you'd set up, so you could copy them to your other computers. Has this been addressed?

Still no proxy support, so still no dice.

Transmission is a no-go because it lacks proxy support, which is absurd.

You're not thinking it through. Take a look at browser dominance on the desktop: https://www.oberlo.com/statistics/browser-market-share

Some sources have it even more skewed. And when you throw in Edge, it's definitely more skewed.

"If anything this helps prevent that"

How?

"Lots of people like to complain about the lack of having 100 different browsers"

I've never heard one of them. Regardless, what's your point?

I once wanted this. Now I realize that this will complete Chrome's takeover of the Web, and that sucks.
