I have been asked to download the new Thunderbird. Will this wipe out all my emails and Zoom codes etc?
Hi I have been asked to download the new Thunderbird. I have a fear that will delete all my old information that I have stored on the old system. Also will the new system be easy to use as the old was? I am not a techie.

A download does not destroy. but I question why download the new version? Is there a problem, or just a suggestion to use latest version? Sometimes latest version has undetected bug.. I'll be glad to assist, but I don't like upgrading 'just because", especially if you feel uncomfortable doing it. What version are you using? What problem, if any, are you experiencing? To answer your question, Thunderbird does keep the software installation separate from the profile, so normally it's transparent — but sometimes it isn't.

Oh thank you for your reply David. It puts my mind at rest. When it said download Thunderbird I thought it was a new one to replace the old. No I don't want to replace the old one for the sake of it. I cannot even order the old one in the right places but I suspect I can ask simple questions gradually to master the Thunderbird I have. Thanks again.
Questions are always welcome. If/when you do upgrade, there are two releases: the ESR (extended support release) which gets a major update once a year, and then default release which is updated monthly. If stability is a priority, stick with the ESR release,. Thats the one I use. If in doubt when you do decide to upgrade feel free to post the question.
