I hate the way the new Thunderbird version looks, can't get normal number of emails at once, can't read any of them at the bottom of the page. Please give me my old version back. This was a horrid intrusion with no warning that it wasn't just a normal update

Most of my work life is in email. Over 25 years (starting with Mulberry) I have built up a custom IMAP folder hierarchy that makes work manageable, but Thunderbird 115 has broken this, now displaying nested subfolders at the top level sorted alphabetically. See the images for before and after. For example, there are now three "Administrative" folders that were formerly classified under superordinate folders for my roles as lab leader, graduate program chair, and departmental faculty member. Persons who used to be in Colleagues or Students subfolders are now at top level. Inexplicably, a few folders retained their hierarchy but most are flattened out. Now I need to scroll through hundreds of folders (have not counted recently but in the late 2000's I had over 500.)

I was able to revert to 102.14 using backups, but will be stuck with this version for the rest of my career unless Thunderbird fixes these problems. Thunderbird is so important to me that I make an automated monthly donation to the project, but will have to cancel if this is not fixed.

If anyone has found a work around please LMK. And Thunderbird team, please acknowledge and LMK whether this will be addressed or are IMAP users left behind?

Thanks, Dan Suthers

With the latest update of Thunderbird I have lost all my tool bar customization. I thought this update was to improve my experience and make things better for me. Making me try to redo all my setting just because some developer needs to put his own stamp on this product is not helpful nor improve my experience. How do I get my layout back? How can I revert back to the previous version????

I want old version back. Everything I have set up for the last 5 years has changed. How do I roll back change? This update has changed everything and I don't know how to fix it. I want to roll back this update. How do I do it? George Wimmer

Why did you feel it necessary to screw with the home page for Thunderbird? It was perfect the way it was. Now I have to try to figure how to undo all the shit you changed. When It works DO NOT FIX IT!

Thunderbird has just auto-updated to 115.2.3 and it looks terrible. What number is the previous version please and how do I reinstall it. When opening Thunderbird, I have to scroll down through a lot of old emails to get to the new ones - the previous version opened at the new emails. Also the layout is not very nice.

Thunderbird 115.2.3. Mac OS 10.15.7 on an older Mac mini. I use larger-sized fonts, so display real estate is limited.

I want to see the full headers, but I want them to scroll in a message header pane that I can resize (that is, I want to be able to move the horizontal line pointed to in the attached image to increase the message display area and decrease the header display area). Otherwise, it takes over my entire message space. Is there a way to do this (I haven't found it)?

Since installing Supernova, I find a huge (multiple minute) delay whenever I open a folder to a new tab or window. There was zero delay on the prior version to open a folder, so it appears to be specific to Supernova. I'm surprised that no one else has mentioned it on the forums yet, so it seems it might just be something about my particular setup. Can anyone help me diagnose what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks!

Please restore my old version of Thunderbird - at 85 years I am not computer savvy and I am too old to learn new tricks. So please tell me how I might get back the previous layout of Thunderbird. Kind regards, Lawrence (Laurie) Ford. Melbourne Australia. 2nd October,2023.

I managed to revert back to Thunderbird 102 after my system automatically updated to Supernova, which I absolutely detested. Everything is back to the way it was except for the fonts Thunderbird is using for the folder pane and the pane that lists all my emails in whatever folder I'm viewing. The font used now seems to be the one that Supernova uses, and reverting to 102 didn't change it back. How do I change the font in these panes?

Can I roll back from version 115.3.1 to the previous version? I don't not like this new version at all. Surely an email client should be what it says, a means to receive, send and organise emails. I don't need 'chats' calendars or any other gizmo's.

Please just give us an email client that is the best, like it used to be.

Hi. This release is buggy and the new UI is very small (and if you enlarge it the entire layout is affected).

By 'buggy' I mean there is a lag when I delete a message from the inbox, and instead of the other messages moving up to replace the deleted one, the deleted email appears twice. And when I delete multiple messages in succession, the lag causes other messages to be deleted unintentionally.

How to revert to the previous version?

Thanks!

Thunderbird updated on its own without notice to version 115. When I tried to open Thunderbird, I received login errors for each account and all my messages were missing. I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling version 102 and now it says that my profile is incompatible. My POP account and local messages are all gone. I don't want version 115. It is clearly incompatible with my computer and accounts.

Last update of Thunderbird is a total crap. To small fonts, to many things grouped together, in a different places as before. I have lost some buttons i used. What for you do all that?!?!? It was good! You made a good program bad now. What for? I'm moving to other mail program now.

I hate it. Updates are activated, because I want to get security updates. Nobody asked for a new design. What for? It's ugly useless. And 99% of your users will think as I do. So, what for?

I have been using Thunderbird for approx. 20 years. Most likely longer. But this is it. I hate it now.

And as I am doing this, I will also leave Firefox.

Bye.

PS: Nobody will miss me. I know.
