This shitty programme has already cost me a lot of time and nerves! Almost every update fails to transfer old files. The extensions are not maintained and one day almost nothing works. Since the last update, TB does not even recognise the calendar file it has created itself. But the same file is accepted by all (!!) other programs, even on the mobile phone. And now Mozilla is begging for money. Let them just stop

After all these years still no onboard option to show the sender email in a column. There was an addon for that (was it secure?) but it seems to be defunct and unmaintained. Sender name can easily be faked by a mailserver, so the mail from "Google" could actually be sent from "YourPC@gotHacked.xy" and the only way to tell is reading the mail header (or when you get told to transfer bitcoin to get your drive restored). Thunderbird is a terrible security risk, look for an alternative.

An easy and familiar email client. Handles multiple accounts seemlessly, rock solid stable and very customisable. I was looking for a replacement to Outlook on Windows and coming to Linux, this software is unbeatable.

New IRC feature is interesting and promising, but lacks many basicc features, and is always hopping around, unexpected disconnect and reconnects, etc. Just not ready for prime-time, IMHO it is somewhere between Alph and Beta testing ready. NOT release ready. Also they F'd up the tag/highlight featute making it unusable for user defined labels. This was rushed without sufficient regression testing.

It's so complexe to copy old emails, and by the way now I need to send 5 time an email as 4 time to 5 I got an error :An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: ghost-submission-6684bf9d7b-gc8jf Lost connection to relay server: Error: timeout exceeded (connection lost) using OVH server, and by the way it's so slow...

It was my favorite email client to use until their Supernova (115) so-called "upgrade". Now it is one of the worst email clients out there.

If only the version displayed above looked just like that, I would install it right away! But hidden behind that beautiful GUI above is the 115 Supernova Thunderbird and it certainly did not look like that when I installed it on my Linux Mint. For 1; the menu bar in my installation was in the wrong place and it can't be simply re-positioned to the 'traditional' position as shown above. Until Thunderbird 115 Supernova gets re-programed to appear like the image portrayed above, I will install Evolution instead.

Folks, do NOT update to 115 or it will screw up your settings. Many users are complaining about it on Reddit.

I've been a Thunderbird user for longer than I care to remember but today I updated my Mint Linux to include Thunderbird version 115.3.1, following which I can no longer use it to view, send or recieve emails.

I use it everyday... sometimes it seems to be heavy on system's ressources...

I've been using Thunderbird for years. It works better than MS Outlook, which has a lot of trouble connecting to email servers with my slow internet connection. It's customizable and gets the job done. I also got its calendar integrated with my iPhone's calendar. Yay!

I like the new version 115. Looks nice and works well. I mainly use the mail and RSS functions.

giving it another try, a bit clunky setting up RSS, NO full screen mode, can NOT change update time with keyboard, multiple feeds in folder can NOT be separated or moved easily, time sort is all WRONG!

This used to be my go to email client for not only when it came pre-installed, but also when it wasn't. However, lately, I've found that severely causes my systems to hang without any recourse except to do a hard power off of the systems. Needless to say, I've since switched email clients and my systems are much happier now.

what a complete joke, why must it try to do everything (also pretty much the worst option if you care about privacy/encryption - Claws or Mutt win, see EFAIL). mozilla bad grrrr but why is this default for real!

No email client comes even close to Thunderbird features and (mainly) stability.

I have been using this for so many years I remember just how long its been. Since the late 80's or early 90's at least! It's one of the first programs I install on new builds!
