This is unchanged eccept for the VNC password fix for Synology.

Thunderbird in Docker optimized for Unraid

This container will download and install Thunderbird in the preferred version and language.

UPDATE: The container will check on every restart if there is a newer version available.

ATTENTION: If you want to change the language, you have to delete every file in the 'thunderbird' directory except the 'profile' folder.

RESOLUTION: You can also change the resolution from the WebGUI, to do that simply click on 'Show more settings...' (on a resolution change it can occour that the screen is not filled entirely with the Thunderbird window, simply restart the container and it will be fullscreen again).

Set VNC Password:

Please be sure to create the password first inside the container, to do that open up a console from the container (Unraid: In the Docker tab click on the container icon and on 'Console' then type in the following):

1. su $USER
2. vncpasswd
3. ENTER YOUR PASSWORD TWO TIMES AND PRESS ENTER AND SAY NO WHEN IT ASKS FOR VIEW ACCESS

Unraid: close the console, edit the template and create a variable with the Key: TURBOVNC_PARAMS and leave the Value empty, click Add and Apply.

All other platforms running Docker: create a environment variable TURBOVNC_PARAMS that is empty or simply leave it empty:

    --env 'TURBOVNC_PARAMS='

This Docker was mainly edited for better use with Unraid, if you don't use Unraid you should definitely try it!

SYNOLOGY:

In Edit, Advanced Settings "TURBOVNC_PARAMS" due to resriction in new docker can not be left empty. Enter the value "-securitytypes VNC" and the password will work, but you have to set it in terminal before. Visual guide is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=995uUSleHsg

And when you are at it, go here and set the other stuff: https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/uwnj97/using_your_synology_to_backup_your_imap_mail/

In the config editor set the setting mail.server.default.check_all_folders_for_new to true.
