> Add thunderbird as target for installation That's interesting. I get a couple of newsletters with advertising in them, and while I still find the Thunderbird interface a little clunky, this might sway me a bit. I'm currently running Thunderbird as an email backup solution, with a rule to automatically copy every new email to a local folder. Maybe I'll start using it a bit more. (It's in a docker image on my file server, accessed via noVNC in a browser, which definitely adds to the clunkiness. Maybe I'll switch it to my local machine.)

  It's my backup solution, not my primary interface. I reworded it a bit to make that more clear.

  Interesting, I might try that. Your link seems to be broken, though - is this the right one? https://hub.docker.com/r/mailserver/docker-mailserver https://hub.docker.com/r/mailserver/docker-mailserver

    Duh, I just copied image name from the docker-compose.yaml *grin* But yeh, this one.

    It's not a link, it's the image name that you'd directly use from docker or podman. And yes, that's the same one. One of the things I found so confusing about docker at first was how much information you could leave out of your image reference and docker would assume the rest. I'd prefer if it only assumed localhost, and never automatically assumed any remote registry. There's really no reason for docker.io to be special.

      Something else that's confusing is why these links don't just redirect to the registry landing page. A simple redirect from https://docker.io/mailserver/docker-mailserver https://docker.io/mailserver/docker-mailserver to https://hub.docker.com/r/mailserver/docker-mailserver https://hub.docker.com/r/mailserver/docker-mailserver would make so much sense.

  FWIW, I have used Thunderbird locally in the past. And it felt clunky then too.

    you gotta admit that it probably didn’t feel as clunky thou

I really like the recent overhaul of the Thunderbird UI. I think it makes it feel a lot less clunky.
