Publisher's Description

Mozilla Thunderbird is a redesign of the Mozilla mail component. The goal is to produce a cross platform stand alone mail application using the XUL user interface language. The intended customer is someone who uses Mozilla Firefox (or another stand alone browser) as their primary browser and wants a mail client based on mozilla that "plays nice" with the browser.

v52.0 is the shot in the arm this app needed. So much faster than 45.x series. Running the latest SQLite 3.17.0 version to reduce CPU usage, compiled by VS2015U3, gobs of bug fixes and performance improvements. Nothing will help you if your Inbox has 10 million messages though. You can't fix stupid.

great email client but to block a email is more work then it needs to be, how about right click on message and have the option to delete/block all from sender !

Testing 38.0 beta6 build 2. Much faster than 33 and all the autofill issues I had are gone. Nice that they bundled Lightning Calendaring into Thunderbird finally.

Fixed some of the annoying bugs related to autofill and autocomplete, but not all of them. Still needs some fixing but coming along ok.

Ok, am not sure what changes have been implemented with this release, but as long as it still works, and I know where everything is at, fine with me.

Yet another version, I'm really glad all my software don't go into beta & a new final every month as I would have little time to use my PC's - Good client but stupid update system. So 5 stars for the program 1 for the beta's ~

Pros: Lightning is updated & fixed for the Thunderbird v56 b1 build. The latest Thunderbird, Lightning and Gdata Provider versions are always posted first in the official Mozilla repository:

Thunderbird (Candidates or Nightly directory):
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/

Lightning & Gdata (Candidates or Nightly directory):
https://www.techsplashers.com/write-for-us/

Cons: glitchy nightly & x64 builds, stick with beta x32 channel

Bottom Line: Bottom Line: Always download from the official repository for the latest builds.

Pros: If you don't need calendar functionality, sure.

Cons: Lightning is broken in this version and caused me to have to revert back to 55b2.

Bottom Line: Wait for them to fix lightning.

Just make the next update to version 500, then you will be hundreds of iterations ahead of all your rivals Mozilla!. Then stop effing updating the version number ever week, its annoying!!

New versions with few changes, I use Thunderbird in Linux daily & love it but the constant updates with few changes are annoying.

This version (14) breaks some extensions that I rely on. Plus the changes actually make it less user-friendly and configurable than the 3.x versions released a while back.

Now that Mozilla has basically abandoned the product and also stop working on the Add-On / Extension sites for Thunderbird, many of the programmers who wrote those Add-On / Extensions have declared that they will no longer update their work, some in protest of the drop of resources devoted to Thunderbird. Some stopped updating their Add-On / Extensions about the time they did the rapid updates because every release required those programmers to update the things every time.

Thunderbird looks like it's going to be an abandoned product, which means I'm just going to stick with version 3.x and the Quote extension I use (Quote Color, etc)

Version 14 is a no go. I'm very let down by all of these issues.
