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 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
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 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.
I just tried it out. Good that it allows you to collapse it.
Thankfully you can hide it. The new UI is pretty customizable.
Outlook is trying to force that on users as well…it’s really a waste of screen real estate for those of us who never use that toolbar.
I tried using Thunderbird like a decade ago. Want a fan. May give it another try!
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.
You can still customize a lot, they just hide a bunch of extra functionality in the customization menu.

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.
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!
Anyone know when/if this will be pushed to flathub?
Is there now conversation view without having to use an extension?
no, and the old plugin is not supported.

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.
It works on Firefox mobile
Works for me too now. Seems like they fixed it.
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.
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.
