According to a recent message from Thunderbird engineering director Andrei Hajdukewycz, the open-source mail client will not extend support to older PC platforms as Firefox has done. Mozilla recently announced that the latest "Extended Support Release" of its web browser (Firefox 115 ESR) will receive an additional six months of security updates for Windows 7 and 8. However, the Thunderbird team has decided to take a different approach.
Those operating systems are not supported any more and are full of security problems. It doesn't make sense to waste time on them
Oh god. They're gonna stuff it with AI aren't they?
What part of dropping Windows 7 support made you think that?
Just a bit of reading between the lines:
the Thunderbird team has decided to take a different approach
and
The MZLA team is working to essentially rebuild the software from scratch, featuring a new interface and support for modern email capabilities.
I may be over-reading though.
