    As a devoted Thunderbird mail client user for the past nearly twenty years since its first release, I'm elated today by the release of Thunderbird 115...

    I switched to evolution years ago, don't remember the exact reason, after being a Thunderbird fan in Windows for years.
    Didn't regret the decision.

      Yes, this is pretty exciting. I also cannot wait for K-9 Mail to become Thunderbird.

        I too have been using TB since before it was called TB. Hell, I moved from Eudora to Seamonkey to TB. When they laid a lot of folks off a decade ago, TB almost died (https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-a...-life-support/)! It was left to fester for many, many years before some folks revived it. It's been improved a lot since the 102 release and is hella faster now that there's at least some team resources that have been dedicated to improving it. I use portable TB all the time and it's a life saver for me. And as a Mozilla volunteer of 14+ years, I've had a small part in helping improve it for you users over the years.

          Thunderbird really has no alternatives. What client allows you to migrate your profile folder between Windows-Mac-Linux for 10+ years? Maybe there are better clients but none that are crossplatform and with optimal feature set.

            Been using Thunderbird for 6+ years and love it. I started using it on Windows and then when I moved my workstation over to Linux, it was the logical choice. I switched from Outlook because at one point, Outlook kept corrupting the .pst files which would hose my searches, and after a year of no solutions, I just threw up my hands and switched.

            Now I just hope someone can figure out to get either gContactSync or something else working because not keeping my contacts current between my phone and workstation can be a pain the arse.

              How do I get the old UI?

                Beautiful? Where? It looks like any run-off-the-mill web "app". A desperate attempt at staying relevant by trying to look hip.

                Thunderbird is a walking corpse, so is Mozilla and its corporation.

                  Thunderbird may be a corpse but it is still from my experience the most functional e-mail client on the desktop

                    If I wanted a tablet-style three-column UI, I'd have gone looking for one. If there isn't an option to turn it off, I'll be looking into the suitability of things like Claws Mail and TinyTinyRSS.
