What TB version is now recommended, V.159 or V.160?

tsbtonon

A couple weeks ago my TB V.159 crashed and I was prompted to create a new profile which I did, but I made the mistake to set the new profile as a POP account. This profile loaded and I found that a few archived subfolders were missing. Also, I'm not able even now to find a "sent" subdirectory that stores my newly sent messages and so I don't know what's happening to them. In other words, my TB V.159 is not usable.

My plan is to delete my current TB software, but before doing that, (in my Windows 11 computer), I'll change my AppData\[redacted]\Roaming\Thunderbird subfolder to AppData\[redacted]\Roaming\OLDTunderbirdOLD. This change will ensure that I don't lose any user profiles in the Thunderbird subdirectory by accident during uninstall and re-install.

I'll then download TB, and I'm inclined to download V.160 if the consensus here is favorable, and then build another user profile set as IMAP because under no circumstances do I ever want TB to delete data on my Network Solutions Internet Host server.

A final question, how do I find the password I'm currently using for TB to download my email from Network Solutions?

Many thanks for the help. Tom

THunderbird has two releases: the monthly (now 160), and the extended support release (ESR, now 153.7). The ESR release gets one major update a year and minor fixes throughout the year. This version does not get the latest new features until next release but it is the more stable version. If stability is important, this is the release to use. If you want the very latest stuff, then use the monthly. The default download at thunderbird.net is the monthly, but the ESR is also there.

You also have the option of 153.7, the ESR version. For the password, try looking at settings>privacy&securiy and the savedpasswords button

David, what is ESR?

Many thanks, Tom
