I used to be able to 'Get new messages' by going File=>Get new messages File tab is no longer in top left of left hand side panel. How do I get new messages now...by the time they come through, the password I'm waiting for will time out.

There used to be a tag...in the same drop down menu as above...to mark a message as eg unread or to "Tag" a message...this menu doesn't exist anymore, so how do I tag messages or mark them as unread

Again...same menu...File => empty trash. How do I do this now?

Is it possible to revert to the previous version of Thunderbird before this last update please?

What is your version number? Does the problem reproduce in Help > Troubleshoot Mode?

Press Alt to show the Menu Bar, then make it permanently visible under View/Toolbars. Enable the Folder Pane Header under View/Folders to show the 'get messages' cloud icon (right-click it for options).
