Hey Fediverse friends! We're slowly waking up the work brain, and catching up on your messages.

Hope everyone's having a terrific week, and enjoying a productive start to 2023!

PSA: We're aware of an issue affecting #Thunderbird users using #IMAP to connect to certain #Microsoft account servers (for example: outlook.office365.com).

These users are receiving an error message that says "User is authenticated but not connected."

We believe this is caused by Microsoft running certain services with broken #IPv6 functionality.

WORKAROUND: Disable IPv6 networking in Thunderbird's advanced config.

A few seconds of time here and there can really add up! When you need to send an email NOW, you don't want to backtrack through menus...

So we've added a floating Compose button to K-9 Mail version 6.500 -- available now to test in Beta, on both F-Droid and Google Play.

PSA: Today Thunderbird 102.7.0 releases with a crucial change to how we handle #OAuth2 authorization with #Microsoft accounts. This may involve extra work for users currently using Microsoft-hosted accounts through their employer or educational institution.

UPDATE:
We have delayed further rollout of Thunderbird 102.7.0 while a suitable patch is implemented to resolve a critical OAuth issue

If your client was already upgraded to 102.7.0 and you wish to use a previous version for the time being, please install and launch an older version, for example, 102.6. Thunderbird should automatically detect your existing profile.

However, you can launch the Profile Manager if needed by following these instructions: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-thunderbird-profiles#w_starting-the-profile-manager

UPDATE:
A solution to the authentication issue will ship with version 102.7.1, releasing during the week of January 23.

Version 102.7.0 is now available for MANUAL download only, to allow unaffected users to choose to update and benefit from the fixes it delivers (https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/102.7.0/releasenotes/)

Please note that automatic updates are currently disabled, and users of Microsoft 365 Business are cautioned to not update.

@Arco @myoan @mozilla Hi, and thanks for bringing this up. We do have a basic "send later" feature, but you might like this add-on which gives you a lot of flexibility with scheduling email: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/send-later-3/

Let's hop into the #Thunderbird Time Machine for a look back at Thunderbird 3.0!

Released on December 8, 2009, v3.0 introduced a Migration Assistant to let you easily activate new features (like Smart Folders and a redesigned Toolbar) or stick with the old ones.
