current thunderbird format/user interface is a nightmare
Trying to solve a problem with thunderbird account email recipients not receiving emails with particular linked URLs embedded in the email I decided to see if maybe I could update thunderbird and that might solve the problem (see previous post/question https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1513733 )
The new user interface/format is completely different than the one I was used to and it took a good half hour to get it to behave at least a little like the old U.I.
It used to be easy to sort incoming mail by sender or date by clicking on the subject bar above the name or date and it would be rearranged to clearly show the order I was looking for, with a nice broad layout in the right hand pane. Now I have to go to view sort by and choose how I want it to be arranged, no way to close an open email in the right hand pane and show the received/sent emails in a nice broad easily readable pane on the right.
Starting to ramble, can't remember EXACTLY how the previous version worked/looked..... mea culpa.
Is there a way to go back to most recent previous version of Thunderbird with the old U>I>?
Thanks, Mike

I think we serve you better by providing some links to help you become more familiar with the current release. The setting you want is available; it's just a matter of making a few selections. the message list pane was originally just a set of columns (subject, recipient, etc), and that view is called Table View. The new default is Card view, at user request. These two URLs should prove helpful in learning the new look in Thunderbird. Also, the default for message folders is now threaded, but that can be changed by user.

Thank you David!...feeling a little like a luddite, wasn't aware of all the formatting possibilities that Thunderbird has to offer. The previous versions I had installed/updated to always used the table view
Best, Mike
