when I upgraded to Windows 11 it automatically upgraded my system to a new Firefox mail program.

Thunderbird Crashing and slow performance

I HATE this new mail program. It takes forever to load on my computer and is VERY slow. Is there any way to get the old program back? I am 83 years old and find this version very difficult to use. I had the older version for years (more than I can remember) and it was very easy to use. Is there a way for me to get an easier program -- like the old one. Please help me

It is very possible to switch email programs. What is the new one? What was the old one? Was it an older version of Thunderbird or some other program?

People sometimes perceive a new version of Thunderbird to be very different, and then they learn the layout settings that make the new version look almost exactly like the old version. If you describe what you liked about the old version and what you don't like about the new version, we can tell you what to do. That will be easier and better for you than replacing a new version with an old one.
