Thunderbird beta 78 setup

To setup my thunderbird 78.0b4, I installed these useful add-ons :

• Thunderbird Conversations : it will help display your emails by conversations instead of each e-mail separately.

Previously on thunderbird 68.10, I found these as useful add-ons :

• Attach from clipboard
• Lightning
• Provider for Google Calendar
• Signature Switch
• Thunderbird Conversations

I discovered that by default, Thunderbird needs to download your emails and sync at every startup, and more precisely every time you click on each folder it will sync that folder.

To access and read the emails offline :

1. Right-click the name of your account on the left panel, then click Subscribe. Select the folders you want to show on the left panel.
2. Right-click the name of your account on the left panel, then click Settings. Select Synchronisation & Storage > Advanced. Select all the folders you want to access to offline.
3. To choose for each folder, you can also right click the folder name on the left pane, click Properties, then synchronisation and tick “Select this folder for offline use”

To enable automatic sync of all folders, start up Thunderbird, open the Config Editor (Preferences > General > Config Editor), and change the mail.server.default.check_all_folders_for_new setting to true.
