Don't show "account selector" by default or at least enable account pics

[rmik9]

Hi @martinleben, if this has been acknowledged and there is work in progress to improve things, I really appreciate that.

I do not get what is that you don’t like about the tone of my writing. I reported the problem in a neutral way, then I did not see any answer in this forum from devs and I asked if there are any employees of Mozilla looking at this forum since it was not clear to me. Or is adding questions not allowed here?

I am also sure my post wouldn’t have been written if your mentioned there was clear communication on the forum and acknowledgement of the issue or in ideal case link to something we can check for updates. If I would have found something like that, I would not have posted and just tracked the issue for updates. However, this wasn’t the case, it seemed there is no communication back to the people reporting the problem and I had doubts this was ever acknowledged as an issue, so I decided to add another post to raise awareness.

I hope you understand.

Two statements, of which one is yours, are in my opinion problematic. This:

@Benoit-Pierre_DEMAIN

This is free software. Losing users does not reduce their salary. We are the noisy 1% which can be lost. They already took their decision for greater good. We are not smart enough to understand, we don’t deserve to receive an explanation. They know what they are doing.

… and this:

@rmik9

Free software, but AFAIK Mozilla employees do get salary

The post you missed was this:

@wsmwk

This is getting attention in Changing name of mail account does not change the two letters in account chip. · Issue #8381 · thunderbird/thunderbird-android · GitHub and related issue. I would expect the solution to come in both K-9 and Tfa.

Have a nice day!

This was in reply to another user who assumed people don’t get paid working for Mozilla. Is that not correct or what’s your problem with this statement? I do believe that Mozilla employees get a salary. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that.

I did not miss that. It’s about a problem with not showing the 2 letters from the account name, and not about the problem with the 2 letters in the first place. Plus you are linking to an already closed issue there.

You told me this issue is acknowledged and is or will be worked on, but there was nothing in this forum that suggested that is the case. I would suggest you to inform people also on this forum to avoid misunderstandings among the user community.

Have a nice day!

I assumed there was sarcasm there, but apparently there was not. My apologies!

As for the rest, I might or might not be mistaken. And I do not speak on behalf of Mozilla.

No, I didn’t suggest to use only two letters to name your accounts. I mentioned that the first two letters of the account name appear in the circles.

It was a change the devs added several weeks back. Good luck with FairEmail.

Yesssss, FINALLY!

In both TBird and K-9 v17 it has been fixed and we can assign a monogram, icon or picture as account avatar!!!

Thank youuuuuu
