I used Thunderbird about 10 years ago? Looks amazing compared to what I remember.

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

just copy over your profile backup that you certainly created beforehand

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