I’ve used thunderbird pretty much from the start, for the last 20 years or so. The UI was looking a bit dated, lately, so I’m really looking forward to this. The next thing we need is better performance (I may suffer more than most as I have literally hundreds of thousands of messages and dozens of folders on the imap server). Fingers crossed!

I waited for Thunderbird to get good for so long, I ended migrating to emClient... Looks great, but I don't think I feel like resetting all my devices and systems again

Oh thank cthulu, I've been waiting for this for ages. I'm so glad Thunderbird is getting some much needed love.

This looks great. Would be awesome if i could host this in a docmer container so i dont need to manage installs on clients.

Loving it so far! Anyone know how to change the font or font size when you view the message body as plain text rather than HTML? All the font settings I could find in the gui are not changing it.

Are there any plans for tray icon and desktop notification support? Those features are the only reason I would run a desktop email client, without them I'll just use a browser. I know Birdtray exists but I can't get it to work with flatpak Thunderbird.

That definitely looks different. I assume they still haven't put the system tray functionality back?

It's well past 15:00 EST and the version I get when downloading is 102.13.0 for some reason.

Edit: solved by itself after some minutes, probably a CDN thing.

Oh that's cool.

I'm definitely very boomer in that I still prefer to get my email via Thunderbird rather than through a web browser!

Just finished setting up thunderbird. The new design looks amazing! Although it has some UX problems, I hope they'll get resolved along the way.

Overall, pleased, and migrated all of my inboxes to it!

Can single-key shortcuts finally be changed/disabled? I can't count the number of times I thought I had focus in a different element or even different application and accidentally archived, marked as spam or otherwise hid several e-mails just by a typing a single word.

It took one release for Thunderbird to go from a pretty ancient looking program to one of the best looking ones out there.

I've been using Thunderbird for ages. I like the card view, although I still prefer the list view with no preview if I have a ton of messages to go through.

Eh... it's pretty, I guess, but it's just too "appified" for power users. My Thunderbird UI is festooned with useful buttons and menus for quick access, and I like the old style of having elements tightly spaced to maximize contextual awareness.

This reeks of form over function. Yuck.
