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.
It looked almost the same as the last time tou used it just before this version. Which means this is an absolutely huge step forward for the UI
I was gonna say, I tried it a couple months ago and I’m pretty sure it hadn’t been changed since when I was using it in like 2012. I thought a theme might help so I checked out the available themes, and the “popular” ones were ones that felt like they were from back then too. Everyone remembers Firefox / Thunderbird themes from back then: frosted glass, photos of space, flames, lots of gradients, themes that look like wood for some reason, that gross red text on black-white gradient background. It was like the entire app was aesthetically trapped in the early 2010s, even the community’s themes.
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
If you downgrade, expect glitches with your too new profile. Obviously it’s not going to be backwards-compatible.
You’re a moron lol
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.
I recently went back to using Thunderbird after not doing so for, I don’t know, maybe a decade. Having everything in one place is very convenient indeed.
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 installed, it looks much better compared to 102 without removing any functionality. I love it!
Oh thank cthulu, I’ve been waiting for this for ages. I’m so glad Thunderbird is getting some much needed love.
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
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.
Is this better?
Now it looks like it’s hiding something.
Marking valid emails as junk 👀
Looking sus
He’s protecting your mail for you, I like him
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!
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.
I may try Thunderbird again. Only thing I do not like about the screenshots is the far left toolbar, but I will still check it out.

It took one release for Thunderbird to go from a pretty ancient looking program to one of the best looking ones out there.
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.
Looking forward to trying it. It has been over a decade since I last used it.
Anyone know if Google Tasks can be integrated?
Yup, I sync my Office/Teams notifications for work along my Nextcloud tasks for our home checklists 👍
The new website is also pretty epic: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/ (bit messed up on mobile)
Unfortunately the flathub version doesn’t seem to be updated.
Yeah, the downloads section is not looking good (on Safari at least)
It works on Chromium browsers. It does not work on Firefox.
Interesting to see even Mozilla apparently testing their websites only on Chromium.
