Who needs notes in a mail program? But cool anyways.
Thunderbird is already more than a mail program. It supports calendar, todo, contacts, multiple chat protocols etc. Notes are in line with features like todo I’d say
What chat protocols? Anything actually used? I tried their chat once but it didnt work with Matrix I think.
That they support Calendar is the result of CalDav I think. For some weird reason mail providers are often also CalDav providers, so you use the same account and that makes sense.
Although I would really like to have calendar and contacts as seperate apps. The combination is weird, and with some CSS it should be possible to have a single-purpose “app” with its own process ID and desktop entry with icon.
I dont know how to do that though, at least yet, as I dont know the CSS. But Libreoffice Flatpak fixed the “calc + writer shown as the same app” which is done via desktop entry stuff
Being able to create create calendar events from dates in emails benefits from being a single app. Also contacts integration is necessary to auto fill email adresses. It’d be great to have seamless integration between mutliple apps, but with Thunderbird having tabs it’s also a good experience.
I believe Thunderbird supports IRC and matrix, but I don’t use those features. Standalone apps usually provide a better experience.
Hopefully notes is compatible with other notes systems, maybe markdown with a folder structure. This’d compatible with Markor on Android and also many (diy) solutions (e.g. vim).
Thats true. Their tabs are weird though, at least the “places” bar which doesnt make sense as the tab bar is still there and the places bar is incomplete.
