I do believe there are no more updates for version 102* Version 102.15.1 is the last.

If you do not want to update then make sure you have the following settings so you have a chance to say No.

• Settings > General
• Scroll down to the 'Updates' section
• Select 'Check for updates but let me choose whether to install them or not'
• Uncheck - do not select - 'Use a background service to install updates'

This means you may get prompts to update, but you now know you need to say NO. But if by accident to clicked on install, then you should get a second pop up UAC window opened by Windows OS asking if you are allowing update - so you can still stop the update by saying NO.

If you want to try 115* then you can go back, but it's not exactly straight forwarded.

Version 115* Supernova may seem to be very different and there are a couple of things that are new which could cause a bit of anxiety at first, but all in all it is still possible to keep and use a very similar format. 115 has more options, but you can disable or switch off what is not required. I can help with this via this forum.

Here are a few links to Articles which you may want to take a look at.

• https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/getting-started-thunderbird-main-window-supernova#w_vertical-view-layout-with-card-view
• https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/unified-toolbar

They are pushing the new Card View, but do not worry if you still like a list of emails then it is still an option. The 'Unified Toolbar' is the replacement to the old 'Mail Toolbar'

The 'Menu Bar' with File, Edit, View etc is still available but it may need enabling.

Thank you, Toad-Hall. I have put those links on a browser, 3 different tabs. For future use. And I'll probably have to leave this thread open so that I can get back to you. Unless there's a way for you to email me out of this forum? i.e. If I were to click "Solved this problem", I won't be able to get back to you. What upsets me is when I read those links you provided, I know I will have trouble understanding all the little tweaks that will be necessary. All previous updates never scared me like this new v115. And of course, that's only because of what I read from others that have updated to v115 and have all this confusion and frustration over "changes that could have been lessened". Or made easier for us. Like not having to tweak everything to "make it look more like v102".

You don't have to upgrade to 115 and lose your existing setup. It's possible, and in fact recommended, to install 115 in a separate location and have it run its own profile. That way you can test the new version while being able to 'retreat' to the existing version if necessary. Once (or if) you're satisfied with 115, you can remove the old version and delete its profile.
