Thunderbird

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. There are no options for configuration available.

  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    thunderbird
  ];

Configuration of Thunderbird

Thunderbird stores configuration and data in the hidden .thunderbird folder in the homedirectories. There is currently no way to configure it via Nixpkgs options. There are two possible solutions:

• 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.
