      It looked almost the same as the last time tou used it just before this version. Which means this is an absolutely huge step forward for the UI

        I was gonna say, I tried it a couple months ago and I’m pretty sure it hadn’t been changed since when I was using it in like 2012. I thought a theme might help so I checked out the available themes, and the “popular” ones were ones that felt like they were from back then too. Everyone remembers Firefox / Thunderbird themes from back then: frosted glass, photos of space, flames, lots of gradients, themes that look like wood for some reason, that gross red text on black-white gradient background. It was like the entire app was aesthetically trapped in the early 2010s, even the community’s themes.

      I used Thubderbird about 10 minutes ago and this indeed looks amazing compared to what I remember.

      Edit; how to downgrade to the version? why still no conversation view? 😭

      Great. Downgrading deleted my profile. Thanks a lot for the constant “innovation”,gonna take me hours to set thst shit up again.

      Edit 2; no matter how frustrated you are with thunderbird, DO NOT INSTALL OUTLOOK

        If you downgrade, expect glitches with your too new profile. Obviously it’s not going to be backwards-compatible.
