If like me you're wondering when this will be released via the in-application auto-update mechanism, the bottom of the article states:
> As with any major release, we sometimes become aware of corner cases after significant public testing. The Thunderbird team will wait to enable automatic updates until we’re confident no such issues exist.
So if you want it now you have to download the new installer, you can't just do what I was doing and continually check for a new version and hope it turns up in the next few hours :)
- stOneskull 3y agoi have about 50 email addresses. thunderbird handles it ok at the moment but i'm a bit worried the new update won't. fingers crossed..
- pantulis 3y agoIsolated data point: I have a couple of accounts, some of them have more than 50k messages. I noticed Thunderbird's auto-update wouldn't trigger so I manually installed the macOS .dmg with no issues. The previous Thunderbird profile was loaded as usual (with the folders on an external disk) I have to say that the new look and feel is definitely better but it looked much nicer in the screenshots, I don't know why, I don't think it's a technical thing, perhaps my own expectations.
- iakov 3y agoIt definitely looks better on the screenshots! I thought it was me, but I've noticed other people writing about this too. Maybe the design was not translated well to the code, some subtle things like proportions and distance between elements being off.
- Night_Thastus 3y agoI suspect it could also be some old user settings that are messing with it. Perhaps a fresh install would not have that problem. The new defaults may play nicer with the new design.
- stOneskull 3y agoit was too easy. worked smooth and instantly besides having to re-authorize my microsoft account. (they saw it as a new app). thunderbird looks a lot nicer now. i like it.
