Textual words from them:
It’s our first step towards a more modern, more beautiful, and more customizable Thunderbird experience. We think you’re going to love it, and we are endlessly grateful for all of your support throughout the years 💙

I used Thunderbird about 10 years ago? Looks amazing compared to what I remember.
I used Thubderbird about 10 minutes ago and this indeed looks amazing compared to what I remember.Edit; how to downgrade to the version? why still no conversation view? 😭
Great. Downgrading deleted my profile. Thanks a lot for the constant “innovation”,gonna take me hours to set thst shit up again.
Edit 2; no matter how frustrated you are with thunderbird, DO NOT INSTALL OUTLOOK
just copy over your profile backup that you certainly created beforehand
You’re a moron lol
I don’t like the new logo; it looks mean. The previous logo showed a charming bird that delivered my mail, the new one portrays a bird of prey clutching a letter, it will probably bite you if you try to retrieve the letter.
He’s protecting your mail for you, I like him
Is this better?
Looks nice. I’m not an email power user but I still use Thunderbird just to handle multiple accounts. I’m grateful to this software for simplifying my life a bit.
They finally updated the calendar so it doesn’t look like it’s out of windows 95? Thank god. I really wanna use it now but I’m too tied down to Outlook now. I guess I’ll try to migrate.
If it had a mobile app it would make it much easier. The Outlook mobile app is really good.
Just installed, it looks much better compared to 102 without removing any functionality. I love it!
Can it connect to Exchange without a paid plugin?
I’ve been using DavMail, which is FOSS. It works as a local proxy to translate IMAP to Exchange API.
Looks very gnome. Sadly I use KDE so it still looks like a foreign object, just like Firefox. I want native app to look like native apps, is that too much to ask?
is that too much to ask?
Let’s say it’s a lot to ask, especially when the app also needs to be crossplatform and behave functionally the same on all platforms.
Maybe it could be done, in theory, with a lot of work, but it’s definitely not at all an easy task, especially for a project that seemed dead and buried just a few years ago and with just a handful of volunteer devs.
Most crossplatform apps that I can think of don’t really look like native apps in any system. I’m thinking of Chromium, VSCode, Discord, Steam etc.
The only one I can think of right now is Whatsapp, but I’m pretty sure they actually developed three independent apps and maintain all three, for Android, iOS and Windows. They all look and feel like native apps because they are. Please tell me if I’m wrong.
Still, you can’t expect all, or even most developers to do something like that, especially when you start including all the different DEs and themes and so on.
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 might try it as it’s looking a lot better. I really hoped they would have implemented https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=847989 by now as it’s the reason I use Geary currently.
I hope they fixed the performance as well. I have several crashes per day on debian with version 102.11.0
When starting it I have to wait for a bit before I click anything, otherwise it crashes. It also 100%s one CPU core regularly, I don’t know if that is supposed to happen. It also sometimes does not show the content of certain emails. All that said it’s still the best mail client I’ve used so far.
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!
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.
I’ve tried Thunderbird and wasn’t convinced… My work life is basically email, and I’ve tried several email apps over the years, a lot more than most people. I’ve found Postbox on desktop and Spark on mobile to be the magic pair for me so far. Unless Postbox fails me, I don’t think I’ll bother trying anything else anytime soon… Though I’m open to suggestions for mobile, since there’s room for improvement with Spark.

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.
