Thunderbird releases 115 'Supernova', with an overhaul to their design and functionality
More than just a yearly release, Supernova is a modernized overhaul of Thunderbird, but still feels comfortable and familiar.

It makes a lot more sense if you have multiple emails. Especially emails with numerous aliases.
Yeah I use 3 emails on 3 different domain servers which means opening 3 tabs and being redirected to portals on all of them
I find it useful to have offline access to email.
Off…line…? Like no internet? 😱
I'm so happy that Thunderbird is finally getting a modern redesign.
This is good news!
Wonderful!
It's fine but I find mildly irritating the fact that they have removed the tab dividers.
I'm one of those weirdos who actually likes an email client vs a web one. I have multipl email accounts and it's nice to have one space for all of them. I used thunderbird for years and eventually caved and started using multiple tabs of web interfaces.
With this announcement I said to myself hell let's try it. Immediately upon installing it I thought I had the wrong version, because the layout was the same old layout that's it's always been and not the new vertical card layout they showed on the website.
I was able to change it to look like their new modem redesign but it was not the default. So just a heads up to anyone who's curious to try it because of the fresh coat of paint.
I'm going to try it for the next few months and see how I like it again.
Fellow weirdo here. I started using Thunderbird back when I stopped using (you're not going to believe this) Eudora. I _loved _Eudora. it did everything I needed. TB's been great for years, occasionally less than great but still pretty damn good. It's like a progressive rock band that changes but still feels a bit familiar. Like Rush. Okay, Thunderbird is Rush. No wonder it's so great. See? This is why we have the internet.
Installed, it's great and all but thunderbird feels a bit busy for me. I prefer geary, but thunderbird does work better with my small laptop screen so I may keep it on the portable
As someone who is pretty much always on the hunt for a better email client (bane of my existence, honestly) I’m excited to see this. I gave it a look today and the new design is such an improvement, but still a real adjustment to use from other modern clients. I’m going to go give it a good shot but I’m quite a visual person, so style and design has a big impact on usability for me - has anyone got tips or recommendations here?
I left Thunderbird ultimately because of dwindling O365 support. How is it now? My work and school emails are all O365, because evidently companies think Microsoft is the only option.
I believe thunderbird has support for Gemini but I haven't tried that out yet, might be wrong.
Will they keep the dense email list view as an option? Seeing more than the 14 email messages visible on the screenshot in the post is useful to sort out large folders.
It not only is still an option, it's the default option.
Very glad to read this. I’m terrible at keeping on top of email with just webmail, but since I’ve been using Windows all the alternatives have felt pretty abysmal. You never realise how spoiled you are for good software on macOS, albeit at a cost.
(Linux has some very cool stuff too of course, but most of it will likely never be at home on Windows.)
The new Outlook, currently in preview, is identical to the Outlook webmail client (in my experience). Native apps are becoming more and more obscure.
