petergrew reviewed v91.9.0 on May 10, 2022

Pros: Use Add-ons.
Use Thunderbird as an RSS reader.
Spell-check and Grammar.
Unlimited Storage.
Thunderbird as an Instant Messenger.
Send later.
Send heavy attachments.
Enable Master Password.

Cons: Thunderbird mail is a moderately safe email client. However, keep in mind that Thunderbird is an open-source app and is no longer supported and upgraded by Mozilla. If you're looking for a secure and continuously improved email client, download Mailbird and take it for a trial run

Bottom Line: I am not sure why they discontinued this amazing email client!

Sven123456789 reviewed v78.11.0 on Jun 3, 2021

Monkey_Punch reviewed v78.6.0 on Dec 18, 2020

Pros: Gets faster every iteration. Ancient bunch finally getting attention.

Cons: Not quite as peppy as Firefox using even the 64-bit version but years ahead of where it was since just this time last year.

Bottom Line: The switch to LLVM 11/Rust 1.47 has made FF an order of magnitude faster. You can feel it while using the product. Sadly, TB 78 ESR is still stuck on LLVM 9.0.1 and Rust 1.43. But, the Mozilla folks have enlisted a whole slew of new folks to address ancient bugs and beat the cruft out of TB. It's paid off with both performance improvements and useability improvements that were long overdue. A few years ago when Mozilla anounced TB was no longer going to be developed and put on life support, it was a tragic bit of news. This year's culling of workforce at Mozilla made me worried too. I can say with certainty that TB is not only alive and well but getting loads of fixing for the upcoming ESR release. 78 has had a lot of growing pains and AddOn authors are still playing catch up.

I can personally attest to the HUGE amount of improvement I've seen in the latest betas I've been playing with. 2021 is going to be a great year for TB and Mozilla in general. TB is still the best client out there bar none.

MrUp reviewed v78.2.1 on Sep 1, 2020

Pros: Comfortable interface, very easy to use.

Cons: none

Bottom Line: This is great Software. I recommend this to everyone I know. Thanks for making it.

Monkey_Punch reviewed v78.0.1 on Jul 22, 2020

Pros: Still the best client around bar none.

Cons: Has lost a lot of polish and love due to Firefox being the Mozilla developer's golden child.

Bottom Line: There's just no substitute for a good email client as using Web UI email stinks to high heaven. It's kind of sad that a lot of what used to make the era of Outlook and Eudora so pleasant was that NO ONE wanted to get saddle with crappy things like Outlook Web or the early Yahoo web-based email UI.

Thunderbird has been plugging along for around 15 years+ years now in some form or another and the more things change, the more it stays the same. Emails clients don't need to change much to be honest. It's a simple word processor that sends and received email. It doesn't need to get more complicated than that. But, it's great to see that PGP integration is finally getting it's due in Thunderbird.

If Mozilla's new offshot company that's handling Thunderbird can FINALLY get PGP right (where countless others have failed miserably), everyone will dump whatever cobbled together software hydra they've been using and switch to Thunderbird.

Sven123456789 reviewed v68.3.0 on Dec 3, 2019

Pros: none

Cons: everything

Bottom Line: Like allot of software that was good, this has jumped the shark. They followed firefox into the new version that doesnt allow old themes and add on's. I'll stick with the 60 version series. The morons at Mozilla wonder why firefox lost most of its user base now add thunderbird to the list.

M50 reviewed v68.1.0 on Sep 11, 2019

Pros: I'm sure most users will be happy with the new version.

Cons: If you have sub-folders for collation of correspondence from different clients so you can refer back if required, I have bad news for you. Existing sub-folders on previous version do not travel to the new update . My error, I obviously misread the update details.

Bottom Line: Since yesterday I have rectified the issues I was having. All is back to normal.(Please read pros and cons)
I have upgraded the star ratings accordingly.

Pros: Soma Pain Reliever

Cons: USer satisfactory

Bottom Line: Done

Monkey_Punch reviewed v60.2.1 on Oct 3, 2018

Pros: 64-bit salvation finally here! More robust and far more performant than 32-bit 52.x and previous versions. 64-bit can be installed right over 32-bit but the caveat is once you move to TB 60, there's no going back to 52.x as it makes changes to your profile which are one-way.

Cons: Running a bit behind in terms of parity with Firefox base code. Some Add-ons no longer work.

Bottom Line: Been using TB since the beginning. As someone who clung to Eudora with a death grip, TB is the *only* decent and stable choice for me. I am glad they finally have 64-bit offering as 32-bit is dead, dead, dead. The performance of 64-bit TB is noticeable when launching the app and doing overall tasks. "Who uses email still?" say you Facebook hugging twonks? Everybody. I aggregate 5-10GB of email per year and 32-bit was chugging along but straining under the load of managing that much email efficiently. These days, people send you 10-20MB emails with monster JPGs and PDFs. 32-bit sucks at handling that well. 64-bit has been like a hot knife through butter managing my emails, filters and calendars. Plus, if it weren't for the calendaring feature and integration with my GMail, I'd forget what the heck I'm supposed to be doing on a daily basis. It's the best, sod the rest!

Sven123456789 reviewed v60.0 on Aug 14, 2018

Pros: Still works good

Cons: Lots of old add on's and themes no longer work.

Bottom Line: A big update to version 60. Still rock solid. Be forewarned, lots of old complete themes and add on's don't work with this update. Though I used basically only 1 add (profile switcher) it did work in this version. Also found a couple of complete themes that work with ver 60. Everything else is fine. The calendar add on works. I've had no problems with overall use. Still the email software to use if you don't like your webmail to access your accounts.
