Before I upgrade to High Sierra, I need to know if Thunderbird will run properly.

Thanks much,

Check the release notes. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/52.3.0/system-requirements/

I actually already had, but thought it possible that the release notes had yet to be updated. Based on this, I assume that I should wait to install High Sierra until there's a new release of Thunderbird.

The reality will be that Thunderbird will not have it listed as a supported version until after Firefox does. Firefox will do the shared rendering engine part and it would not appear they have as yet.

Currently they do not list it. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/55.0.3/system-requirements/

OK, thanks.

Thanks, but I think I'd better wait until it's certain, I live by my email. :)
