Two things:
1. the designers never considered keyboard navigation, which is now even more awkward than it was already
2. the interface is now very visibly slower - startup and general usage (on two of my systems)
This ignores the very long standing issues like:
1. searching is very confusing; there are several different types of searches
2. writing an email still requires opening another window. compose emails like it's the 90s!
- pmontra 3y agoIt never occurred to me that I should not open a new window to compose an email. How would that work? Displace the folder I'm in, or the message I'm looking at? And why?
- pizza234 3y agoIt should do it in a new tab. There have been discussions about it, but all the attempts have been abandoned due to spaghetti code.
- pmontra 3y agoMy Thunderbird window is not full screen but it's larger than the mail composition one. I can use that extra screen space to look at other things while I write a message. Short messages go through WhatsApp and Telegram nowadays. Outbound email is for important matters, so it's not uncommon to look at reference material. A tab wouldn't do. Inbound email is 99.9% notifications. I read and delete most of them with K9 on my phone before downloading what's left with Thunderbird. BTW my mailbox is on a POP3 server. I clear it after downloading the messages.
- pizza234 3y agoThunderbird, like Firefox, already supports detaching tabs into new windows.
- jeltz 3y agoWhy? I kinda like composing in a new window. I may want to read another email while replying to the current one.
