it's interesting how I lately have started to move a lot of my online activities back to #Thunderbird (on Windows)/#Claws Mail (on Linux) as standalone desktop applications. It is quite convenient to have all the different communication channels I am interested in in one single spot. (email, usenet, rss, irc)
In fact #Mastodon is the outlier, nobody so far seems to be interested in making a Thunderbird plugin for that. Although I guess I could use the bitlbee plugin @kensanata made for that.
so my switch to #claws turns out to be harder than I thought, because I forgot the reason I didn't switch last time... gmail now needs Oauth2 even for pop3 authentication, and the process to get this working on Claws is so complicated I still haven't managed to get it done.
It involves creation a new project in Google workspaces and setting my account up as a testing user to be able to sign in. and it doesn't work.
eh, after experiencing lots of small issues with #thunderbird I think I will switch to #Claws for my email.
Which is... very similar to what I did the last few times I was using Thunderbird. It's not a bad client as such, but every time I use it stupid stuff keeps happening.
On Friday all of a sudden the filters did not work anymore. And they started working again the next day.
And the only way to rearrange newsgroups is by going into the profile folder and rearranging them in a text file...
You always thought that keeping all body parts under the covers was the only way to keep you safe at night. It's only when you bring a furry little monster into your house that you realize that you were right all along. #Catsunday#CatsOfMastodon#claws
