Comment, not a question. My now obsolete laptop ran Ubuntu 14 and its now 15 year old Thunderbird. Worked wonderfully well. My current laptop running Ubuntu 22 and Thunderbird 128.12.0 has driven me nuts since I got it. Slower than a snail loading. Confusing layout and function trying to group related messages into threads. I DO NOT LIKE IT.

I understand many of your customers might love the current Thunderbird for what they do with it. Can you somehow make available the older version of Thunderbird without all the fancy updates?

older versions are always available at https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/ just pick the release, the OS, the language and you're good to go. However, you may be better served if you share some of the details. If it's threading you do not like, that can be easily remedied. But, I respect some users prefer older versions. They still work, but, with a little customizing on your part, I think you will prefer the newer releases.
