@vwbusguy @thunderbird Thunderbird is great, but define "cool" in this context. I have a feeling your definition might be circular. Something like "Those who use Thunderbird are cool because Thunderbird." But thanks for a great tool.

@vwbusguy Iā€™m checking my mail with hand written IMAP in telnet.
Show threadScott Williams šŸ§Sep 25, 2023
@anders By "hand-written", are you using a morse-code like pulse and perfectly timing the protocol to the baud rate or are you using a microscopic magnetic needle to flip the bits in the RAM address for the telnet input buffer?

@profoundlynerdy @hyde @thunderbird Y'all are about to inspire me to try to recreate the thunderbird GUI in ncurses.

@hyde @profoundlynerdy @thunderbird The question is, is it possible to hook into thunderbird's backend libraries separate from its frontend? Like, could I go so far as to share the same data profile as the GUI and just reimplement the front-end with ncurses to the same backend libraries?

@vwbusguy @thunderbird Really cool kids use NeoMutt.
