Hi Guix, "Betterbird" is a fork of Thunderbird/Icedove in Guix.
It can use the profile of Thunderbird. https://www.betterbird.eu/support/index.html How to switch between Thunderbird and Betterbird?Betterbird is designed to be 100% compatible with Thunderbird of the same version. For example at time of writing you can switch between Betterbird 128.4.3-bb17 and Thunderbird 128.4.3 without problem. Betterbird uses Thunderbird's profile directory and contained profiles for easy switching:
Windows: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\
Linux: ~/.thunderbird/
Mac: /Users/<user>/Library/Thunderbird/
If Betterbird doesn't already detect your Thunderbird profile, start
Betterbird with the -p option which will launch the profile manager. You
can select your regular profile there. Important: If you're switching
between Thunderbird and Betterbird, also use the -purgecaches option to
avoid incompatible remnants of the other program in the startup cache.
Another option is to view all profiles via Help > More Troubleshooting
Information. Click on the about:profiles link which will take you to a
tab where you can select a different default profile.
Is there a change to install Betterbird in Guix? If so, how can I do that? Or do I have to wait if somebody adds it to the packages? thanks Gottfried
