Thunderbird Matrix Chat FAQ
How can I connect a Matrix account that uses Single Sign On (SSO) in Thunderbird?Add your Matrix account with SSO as follows:
For example, if your account is: “@awesomeaccount:matrix.org”, enter awesomeaccount in the Username field and matrix.org in the Server field.
When done, Thunderbird will start requesting the chat rooms from your account. This is a slow process, please allow time, your rooms should appear one after another on the left side of that chat window.
Why do some Matrix rooms remain empty, why others show old messages?Thunderbird does not support dynamic back scroll, which means most old messages from previous sessions will not be shown. Only your unread messages are shown on initial connection, and all messages that are sent to rooms later on. However, sometimes it is ambiguous which messages are still unread, and this can cause some old messages to be shown.
Why are images not shown?At this time, only text messages are supported.
