Thunderbird is an open-source e-mail client for desktop environments, which also functions as a full personal information manager with a calendar and address book, as well as an RSS feed reader, chat client (IRC/XMPP/Matrix), and news client.

Install Thunderbird

Set programs.thunderbird.enable = true.

Configuration of Thunderbird

Thunderbird stores configuration and data in the hidden .thunderbird folder in the home directories. There are the following solutions:

  • Use Nixpkgs, currently setting policies and preferences is supported.
  • Use Home Manager.
  • Manual configuration with the Thunderbird GUI and backup (and move to others PCs) of the .thunderbird folder. Using IMAP with server-side storage will enable to have several instances of Thunderbird with the same settings and e-mail content.

Troubleshooting
