Thunderbird has long been an app that’s been famous for looking rather utilitarian. However, that started to change with last year’s major Thunderbird 102 update, and now Mozilla is continuing its overhaul with the release of Thunderbird 115.

    The layout change is awesome! The old öayout was really meant for 4:3 screens with lots of vertical height. It was uncomfortable to use on 16:9 screens in my opinion.

    It really does look great. Maybe it’s time to revisit a desktop client.

    Is there a way to get Thunderbird to use Markdown for message formatting? I haven’t been able to find any email client that can do it and it would get me to switch in a heartbeat

      If I had to guess, this functionality would only be available through an extension.

      I gave it a quick search and there seem to be a lot of options. I’ve never tried any of them, but downloading thunderbird and seeing if any of those meet your needs would be a good starting point.

    My company uses Gmail, and I have a Mac at work, so I’m currently using the default Mail app, which I really don’t like. I’ve tried Thunderbird so many times in the past and always found it just a bit too hard to use smoothly, so I am super excited to install Thunderbird again tomorrow and see the improvements.

    I’ve wanted so hard to switch to thunderbird completely. My email is outlook and has the Authenticator set up for login, which has caused me issues adding my inbox. I found an add on but it had a few that I think was monthly.

        Thanks for replying, I ended up figuring this out like two days ago. Turns out you have to generate an app password from the security options on Microsoft’s website.

          I think thats one option, the OAuth way explained in the link should be the more modern one.

      Would app passwords work?

        When it gets to signing in it fails and when I set it up with exchange it wants a paid add on. I think it had something to do with an owl. It was a couple months ago.

    It looks like a mailspring copy paste interface

      The only thing the same is the layout, and I don’t think mailspring owns the layout of Options -> Emails -> Open Emails. In fact in my experience, thats the most common layout for email clients to use on desktop devices.

    It looks nice. I haven’t used an email client in years, but I might give this a try.

    I like new design. Finally TB entered modern era with conversations etc.

    For Linux people who don’t want to deal with tar install and setting up *.desktop, you can use python script here https://github.com/fromSmolsoft/tb_install and install it automatically from official sources. It worked for me on Mint xfce.

    Very nice. Might just give it a try. Just tried KMail and while it works, this looks a lot better.
