Feedback on version 115

Is there a better place than this to give feedback on version 115 of Thunderbird?

In case this is a suitable place, here's what I think after using version 115 for about 1 day.

1. Too many keystrokes to go from folders list to messages list and back. (I expect I'll get used to this after a while.)

2. Thunderbird does not show where my unread messages are. Right now it is showing that I have 9 unread messages in my inbox or subfolders. When I expand the first level of subfolders, it shows me the locations of only three of those messages. I suppose the other 6 are in sub-subfolders and beyond but I can't see where. Maybe I could expand the entire folder tree but I don't want to do that because I have about 173 folders. (I can't imagine getting used to this one.)

I've been very happy with Thunderbird since I migrated from Eudora (because at that time Eudora didn't handle non-Latin characters well) but I can't recommend Thunderbird to anyone in its current state.

I see problem No. 2 (or similar) has occurred with more than one previous update.

"No. 2"? Yes, it is a bit sh*tty. ;)

Please be more specific - what keystrokes are you using? Tab? F6? Arrow?

Thanks, Wayne. So far I've used Tab and Shift+Tab. Using [Shift+]F6 to move between main UI areas is new to me. So far I don't usually have a finger near F6 while reading mail but that could change.

(Note to self: when feeling a bit annoyed, calm down to think more clearly, e.g.: "This is Mozilla: surely there is already a better way than pressing Tab a few times. And there must be some info on the 'net about it. Let's see what it is.")
