Thunderbird is an open-source e-mail client for desktop environments, which also functions as a full personal information manager with a calendar and contactbook, as well as an RSS feed reader, chat client (IRC/XMPP/Matrix), and news client.
Install Thunderbird
You can just install the package:
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
thunderbird
];
Or by setting programs.thunderbird.enable to true in your system configuration (Usable in unstable, will be available in version 24.11).
Configuration of Thunderbird
Thunderbird stores configuration and data in the hidden .thunderbird folder in the homedirectories. There are the following solutions:
- Use Nixpkgs, currently setting policies and preferences is supported (Usable in unstable, will be available in version 24.11).
- 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.
