I love thunderbird but I don't understand their update schedules. I just now got an update (thought it would be to 115) but it's to 102 [1]. In the release notes of 102 it says it was made public only 5 days ago (and they say 115 is coming soon). And seemingly it can't update to 115? Am I missing something here?

[edit] okay it seems 115 is not yet released as https://www.thunderbird.net/ https://www.thunderbird.net/ still links to 102. But the Beta links to 116 (https://www.thunderbird.net/de/download/beta/ https://www.thunderbird.net/de/download/beta/) so I guess they are still moving things around

102.13.0 was released a few days ago. 102.x has been out for a while. When you receive an update to it depends on your distro or whether you have it installed as a Snap or Flatpak, etc.

The janky versioning is because Thunderbird releases are tied to ESR (extended-support release) versions of Firefox. - "Thunderbird Project version numbers for releases match to Mozilla Firefox ESR numbers. Thunderbird also provides consecutive betas between the ESR numbers, for example 92-101, which match to Firefox (non-ESR) beta numbers. Future Thunderbird (ESR) releases upcoming are 115, 127, etc." https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Home#Releases https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Home#Releases

That threw me for a loop. I went to download 115 and got 102. I've mostly stuck with webmail (Fastmail for personal, Gmail for work) but would love to get back to a local client. So I'm willing to give the new Thunderbird a shot, but it's perplexing when they advertise 115 and give me 102 and it's really unclear how to get the nifty stuff they're advertising.

  Gmail supports IMAP. Even in a corporate environment I used Mail as my client.

    Yes, I'm aware. But I don't have any interest in mingling my work + personal / project email.
