a thoughtful use of digital
There are (several) extensions of Thunderbird that allow you to use Whatsapp on your PC, as you can see in the image below.
If you have a problem of “space on disk”, causing the disconnection from Whatsapp, you could try to find and destroy the cache of TB Whatsapp (a folder called web.whatsapp.com or something like).
I was able to solve this problem in this way.
I have TB in american english, but I hate american english date format (mm/dd).
To fix this ugly, terrible, disgusting way to show dates, I tried unsuccessfully to:
The only way, then, seemed to set whole TB in Italian (or in an other not-english language that has dd/mm).
But there is a real possibility: use en-GB instead of en-US: and so you have both, english and dd/mm as date format.
If you use Wayland and in taskbar TB has an ugly W icon, you can try
StartupWMClass=thunderbird-esr. Instead of thunderbird-esr you could have to check the appropiate name of TB in yout system.It can happen that your TB theme (unintentionally and therefore inadvertently) changes and as a result it doesn’t match with your custom css (in chrome folder). You can see below an example of this:
As you can see, you get not only a very ugly appearance, but using TB becomes almost impossible.
To fix this problem you have to check (in edit -> settings -> add-ons and themes) what theme you are using, and if necessary, re-set the correct one, that suits to your css.
If you have some layout problems with Cardbook (addressbook manager) in the latest releases of Thunderbird you can try to install the latest release of Cardbook as a file from their website.
You can use a chrome folder adding it to the root profile default of TB. Chrome should contain a css file and the desired icons.
If even after adding chrome folder thuderbird doesn’t use your cutomized css, you should try with:
Settings/Options > Advanced > General > Config Editor
toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets > true
In Thunderbird you can use the “Open With Options” add-on, which let you choose with what browser you want open a given link in a given e-mail.
You can add new browsers as well, in a very easy way.

Ricordarsi poi di sincronizzare con Google contacts (se l’avete).
Parliamo di Linux, e di KDE. Si può creare il file (dal nome non vincolante) sendto.desktop nella cartella (da creare se non esiste) “/home/[utente]/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus/”.
Come contenuto di questo file potete mettere quanto segue:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
Actions=SendToMailRcp
Encoding=UTF-8
MimeType=application/octet-stream
X-KDE-ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin
X-KDE-Priority=TopLevel
X-KDE-Submenu=allega a
[Desktop Action SendToMailRcp]
Name=posta elettronica…
Exec=thunderbird -compose “attachment=’$(echo %F | sed ‘s/\ \//,\/\//g’)’,to=[indirizzo destinatario],subject=[l’oggetto della mail],body=arrivo: $(date “+%x”) n partenza:,from=[account con cui inviare la mail]”
Icon=thunderbird
Nell’esempio viene creato, nel corpo del messaggio, una doppia riga (arrivo, con la data odierna, e partenza), ovviamente si può personalizzare a piacere.
Il codice
attachment='$(echo %F | sed 's/\ \//,\/\//g')'
è per poter allegare più files.
La cosa che mi ha fatto perdere più tempo è stata settare la data, perché %d dava luogo, invece che alla aggiunta della data, alla aggiunta della cartella in cui si trovava l’allegato.
