"fastest" is a bald-faced lie. That's the main change in 115 that I haven't been able to either uncheck or countermand using userChrome.css... the fact that so many GUI operations (eg. clicking a mail folder or message and having the relevant UI pane update) gained a noticeable response latency to them on my 2011 Athlon.

Compile your own. Not that difficult.

Ubuntu is not a rolling release. Also: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+...underbird-next

Although Ubuntu is not a rolling release, it does get new Thunderbird releases backported to any supported releases. The packages from the PPA you linked should make their way into the main repos after passing whatever checks/tests/verification/etc needed for an SRU.

I'm still tempted to switch to Kontact because (a) the Thunderbird tasks don't support all-day tasks for some inane reason (you MUST manually set the time to 00:00 or 23:59 or whatever) and (b) they stubbornly refuse to allow Autocrypt, even killed the extensions that used to make it possible.

On the other hand, everyone seems to say Kontact is buggier and not as mature.

Use it for youself and draw your own decisions.

AFAIAC, it's crap. Will rather use Outlook.com's calendar and ToDo any time.

There is no rush. It's bugged. There's no point in spelling it out. The main thing is that Thunderbird development has started to move more.

I guess I'll have to make a completely clean profile.

I'm using Gmail IMAP, but somehow it doesn't quite understand. Sometimes a duplicate directory appears. It does not save sent mail with attachments. We have already tried all the advice I found on the Internet. How is it possible that I delete an email in the sent directory and it is also deleted in the received one? Yes, I recommend it for testing purposes. But not on production.
And the semi-functional HTML editor that's been around for years is also something. But I'll try the clean profile.

I would forgive it a lot. But the applications that handle your data should behave more predictably.
