My desktop computer died, so I needed to copy all my data files from backup (which worked fine) and then install all the apps that I regularly run on my laptop. When I installed Thunderbird, I got the latest Release 139.02. It behaves very differently from what I think is called the "Classic View" that was running on my Desktop. I REALLY hate it, but can't figure out how to set the Thunderbird parameters to do that. My problems include:

-- Overview of Thunderbird "Views". I can't find any documentation that explains [a] the various viewing options that Thunderbird offers and [b] EXACTLY how to set them.

-- Release Notes. I haven't found any release notes to explain when/why a major change to view was done.

-- Periodically, even for same release, Thunderbird CHANGES my parameter settings. Most annoying is changing the General Message-List settings to "Show Only Display Names For People in My Address Book". I live in a retirement community where many husbands & wives share the same Email address. With this setting, Thunderbird shows the name associate with the first message I received from this Email address. So the heading doesn't show which person actually sent it (although I can make a good guess when Thunderbird is telling me it came from a dead person. [g]

Is there ANY way I can get Release 139.0.2 to display messages the way I've been seeing them for at least 10 years? I REALLY need help. (If I can't get Thunderbird to behave the way I want, seem like I might as well switch to reading/writing messages directly from Google Gmail web site. It's equally lacking in documentation, but I suppose that eventually I could figure it out.)

Thanks in advance for any help anybody can offer.GMail, I'd seriously consider switch to using Gmail directly without Thunderbird.)

I've done some work to try to answer my own question on how to configure the new release 139_0_2 with the "Classic View" and other features I want. By experimentation, I discovered that to get at the parameter settings, you have to click on the black 3-line thingie at the upper right of the screen. (I've been programming since 1965; if that's the "standard" icon for configuration, nobody ever told me about it.)

The attached 5 images are screen-shots of the various menus I found that I think have done more-or-less what I want: 01 = Help | About that shows what Release was running = 139.0.2 02 = Menu that appears when you click on the black thingie at the upper right 03 = What appears when you click on "View" from Display #2 04 = Details of "Toolbar" options you can select from View screen in Display #3 05 = Details of "Layout" options you can select from View screen in Display #3

I've taken the time to document this so maybe the next time Thunderbird "improves" all my parameter settings (and makes my system REALLY hard to use) I'll be able to quickly restore things. Can't guarantee anything is correct, but have uploaded it JUST IN CASE someone else might find it useful.

Thanks to everybody who provides support.
