I positively DESPISE the new Thunderbird. 1) I cannot view my my emails in the manner that has worked so well for over 20 years. 2) In order to see the new emails, I have to scroll past 3 billion old emails to see the newest ones. 3) Even worse, if I don't delete the current viewed email, I have to scroll to the left, past the 3 billion old emails (that I have to save and have current, to get to the "origin" so that I can click on the NEXT ONE TO READ!. 4) I can no longer get T'bird to throw away 'banned' senders that were previously automatically moved to the 'junk' pile without my having to waste time dealing with their ads yet AGAIN. 5) Can't seem to get emails sorted by date, subject or what have you like before.

I want my old T'bird interface back.

(Please post #4 as a seperate topic https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/thunderbird/form (too many issues in a single posting makes things difficult for volunteers who are answering)

What version are you using? Are you not able to sort by date as you have in the past?
